Abstract
The grain boundaries of randomly oriented Cu- Bi bicrystals containing about 300 wt ppm Bi were studied with a high-resolution scanning Auger microprobe. The non-planar interfaces, strongly facetted in many areas due to the Bi segregation, revealed a rather uniform Bi coverage despite a great variation in grain boundary structure. Particles concluded to be Bi were found on large areas of the intergranular fracture surfaces, apparently coexisting with the segregated layer of atomic bismuth. The Bi particles could be dissolved by heating the specimens to temperatures as low as 650°C and quenching.
