Mechanical and chemical characterization of grain boundaries
Grain boundary chemistry and mechanics

Investigation of grain boundary corrosion of a 304 austenitic stainless steel, immersed into HF-H202 solution. The characterization is done by pseudo-3D EBSD. Two random large angle grain boundaries corrode very different because one has low-indexed boundary planes and the other a more random ones.
