The volume is divided into four parts of unequal length under the headings : "Creep and Plastic Flow" (70 pp.), "Grain Boundaries and Recrystallization" (47 pp.), "Precipitation"(20 pp.), ...

Enhanced diffusion along grain boundaries can lead to accelerated mass transport, which is important for processes such as sintering, creep, and ionic conduction in nanoionics. Grain boundaries can ...
