Abstract
A new technique for determining anisotropics of surface energy is described. Measurements of thermally equilibrated grain boundary grooves in wires exhibiting bamboo structure are numerically analysed and an analytical expression describing the complete y-plot is obtained by a least squares fit of a double Fourier series. The method is applied to pure copper wires which have been annealed at 1030°c in dry hydrogen. The principal features of the y-plot are:Keywords
