2 Long term Goal The long term goal of this research is to examine the microstructure and texture changes caused by heat treatment of modified 316LN stainless steel. Current Goals Examine grain boundary character distribution in M316LN stainless steel. Examine grain boundary character distribution in M316LN stainless steel. Determine grain size and twin density with sufficient statistical confidence. Determine grain size and twin density with sufficient statistical confidence.

3 Background Currently Modified 316 LN Stainless steel is used as a superconducting wire conduit in the 45 Tesla Hybrid Magnet System at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory.

6 Grain Boundary Character Why do we need 5 parameters? - Describing a grain boundary requires a misorientation (3 parameters) and a normal (2 parameters). Why might the 5 parameter distributions be interesting? - This material has a high density of twins, so we would like to know if the twins are all coherent twins; also we would like to know if any other boundary types are favored “GBCD” = Grain Boundary Character Distribution

16 As Received [111] 30 0 40 0 50 0 60 0 20 0 All [111] misorientations favor pure twist boundaries with (111) normals; only 60°[111] shows a massive peak, corresponding to the coherent twin. Peak at (111)-50°[111] may be “leakage” from the coherent twin in (111)-60°[111].
