A study on the effect of grain boundary elements on polycrystalline superalloys

<p>Polycrystalline nickel-based superalloys substantially derive their mechanical properties from the strength of their grain boundaries. Carbon and boron are the main grain boundary strengthening elements and they play a critical role on the performance of superalloys. However, how these g...
