Abstract

Different subgrain boundaries are observed in tungsten carbide crystals deformed at 1450 °C and studied by TEM. The geometrical elements of the subgrain boundaries are determined. They are mainly tilt subgrain boundaries formed by a single family of perfect dislocations 1/3 <1120>, 1/3 <1123>, or <0001> of the tungsten carbide structure. The majority of these subgrains have a rotation angle close to 1°. Several more complex subgrain boundaries with a mixed character and a higher misorientation angle (3° to 7°) are also observed and an accurate analysis of two of them is performed.
