摘要: Abstract The segregation of solute atoms to grain boundaries can have a large influence on the mechanical behavior polycrystals, particularly in metallic alloys. An overview 400 calculations solute-induced changes boundary cohesion from 81 separate studies quantitatively demonstrates that majority variation is explained by simple bond-breaking arguments. This trend robust crystal structure and computational methods. secondary contributions embrittlement other mechanisms, such as atomic size effects charge transfer, are quantified discussed well.
