The motion of individual grain boundaries under a constant driving force was studied in Al-bicrystals. In this technique the curved grain boundary moves along the lateral surface of the specimen forming a triple junction No-dqfree surface - boundary - free surfaceNo-dq during its motion.

Migration of different grain boundaries was measured in-situ utilizing orientation contrast in the SEM. The character of grain boundaries studied was described in terms of the crystallographic planes of the adjacent grains. In the current study, both effects the No-dqsurfaceNo-dq triple junction and the boundary character on steady state motion are considered. The effect of the junction is discussed with the criterion Λ which defines the influence of a triple junction on the motion of the attached grain boundaries. To describe the effect of boundary character, the shape of moving grain boundary was analyzed.
