Abstract

Grain boundary migration in real alloys is often governed by stored strain energy rather than curvature, yet direct experimental observations remain scarce. We propose a three-day in-situ dark field X-ray microscopy (DFXM) experiment at ID03 to investigate strain-energy-driven grain boundary migration and dislocation generation in the Cu71.6Al17Mn11.4 shape memory alloy. By focusing on isolated flat grain boundaries and single-grain reference samples, we eliminate curvature and network effects and directly probe the role of plastic strain.
