AbstractÐGrain-boundary segregation is a necessary, but not always sucient, criterion for intergranular embrittlement of many metals and alloys. The reason why certain segregants induce embrittlement while others are harmless remains unclear, but it has been theorized that segregation may be respons
The distribution of segregation levels of bismuth to grain boundaries in copper has been measured and compared using Auger electron spectroscopy (AES) and X-ray energy-dispersive spectroscopy (XEDS) in a scanning transmission electron microscope (STEM). The STEM-XEDS measurements showed that there a
