Abstract
Recent progress in grain boundary engineering is discussed focussing on several key issues
associated with development of high performance structural and functional materials. The
control of intergranular brittleness has been found to be generally applicable by the introduction
of a higher fraction of fracture-resistant special boundaries like low-∑ boundaries and by the
reduction of the fraction of weak random boundaries. The most recent achievement of the
control of oxidation-induced intergranular brittleness in a Ni-40at.%Fe alloy and of the development
of a high performance ferromagnetic shape-memory Fe-30at.%Pd alloy by grain boundary
engineering, has been introduced.
