For example, preferred orientation in uranium fuel elements can result in catastrophic changes in dimensions during use in a nuclear reactor. In many cases, preferred orientation is very desirable, but in other instances, it can be most harmful. If such a sample were rolled sufficiently in one direction, it might developa grain-oriented structure in the rolling direction. Random orientation can be obtained by crossrolling the material. The orientation of crystallites can be random with no preferred direction, called random texture, or preferred, possibly due to growth and processing conditions.

Grains Orientation Grain Orientation (A) Random (B) Preferred Source: U.S. Therefore reducing crystallite size is a common way to improve mechanical strength, because the smaller grains create more obstacles per unit area of slip plane. Dislocation propagation is impeded because of the stress field of the grain boundary defect region and the lack of slip planes and slip directions and overall alignment across the boundaries. On the other hand, grain boundaries disrupt the motion of dislocations through a material. They are also important to many of the mechanisms of creep. Most grain boundaries are preferred sites for the onset of corrosion and for the precipitation of new phases from the solid. Grain boundaries are 2D defects in the crystal structure, and tend to decrease the electrical and thermal conductivity of the material. The grain boundaries separate variously-oriented crystal regions (polycrystalline) in which the crystal structures are identical. The grain boundary refers to the outside area of a grain that separates it from the other grains. Creep becomes progressively easier with increasing temperature. Creep is the permanent deformation that increases with time under constant load or stress. A larger grain size is preferred for improved high-temperature creep properties. For example, smaller grain size increases tensile strength and tends to increase ductility. The size of the grain determines the properties of the metal. A very important feature of a metal is the average size of the grain. Grains, also known as crystallites, are small or even microscopic crystals which form, for example, during the cooling of many materials (crystallization).Grains and grain boundaries help determine the properties of a material. In the final block of solid material, each of the small crystals (called “ grains“) is a true crystal with a periodic arrangement of atoms, but the whole polycrystal does not have a periodic arrangement of atoms, because the periodic pattern is broken at the grain boundaries. When a metal starts with crystallization, the phase change begins with small crystals that grow until they fuse, forming a polycrystalline structure. These have random crystallographic orientations. Most crystalline solids are composed of a collection of many small crystals or grains of varying size and orientation.
