Study on shallow grain induced micro-region surface topography instability of bulk Sn alloys upon internal stress conditions by Bei Hu, Wenjun Zhou, Kensuke Tsuchiya

“…Results reveal that SG formation is highly affected and facilitated by stress distribution via active recrystallization near grain boundaries, resulting in new grain boundaries and dynamic crystallographic reorientations. Cast Sn-1 wt% Bi samples exhibited a more pronounced stress gradient near surface, resulting in a rapid increase in surface peak height around SGs, which conversely credits forging as a better method in suppressing the unwanted surface topographic variation. …”
