Direct observations of grain boundary ledges have been made in annealed Ni, Al, Cu, Mo, Ta, Ir, 304 Stainless Steel and Inconel 600 by transmission electron microscopy. Grain boundary ledges have been observed to be sources of dislocations during and after plastic deformation, and to resemble the appearance of dislocation pileups in the transmission electron microscope. Ledge density (number per unit length of grain boundary) has been observed to increase with an increase in grain boundary misorientation in Ni and 304 Stainless Steel, and the distribution of misorientations was observed to be continuous over the range 0 deg <θ<90 deg at an annealing temperature of 1060°C. The mean grain boundary misorientation in 304 Stainless Steel was also observed to decrease with a decrease in the recovery temperature following cold reduction and to vary from 10 to 45 deg in the temperature range of 660 to 1060°C. An essential point of this investigation is that Li’s theoretical treatment of the flow-stress, grain-size relation based on the existence of grain boundary ledges and their action as sources of dislocations under stress is shown to be correct.
