This work describes the effect of thermomechanical processing (TMP) on grain boundary character distribution (GBCD) and the effect of GBCD on tensile properties of 304L austenitic stainless steel. The material was solution treated before the TMP. Electron back-scattered diffraction and tensile prope...
