Abstract
Aluminum tricrystals were crept at 773K under a constant stress in order to investigate the effect of the triple junction on high temperature deformation. It has been demonstrated that grain-boundary sliding (GBS) can be accommodated by sliding and/or migration along other boundaries, but non-uniform sliding due to the existence of the triple junction gives rise to the localized deformation zone along the boundary. In certain cases, this could be accomodated by the so-called triple-point fold without significant plastic deformation interior the grain. The origin of the fold was found to be a lattice slip, whose activated system has to contain the triple junction, but not a deformation band.
