Description

Highlights: • Grain boundary engineering effects on IGSCC were studied using 3D-EBSD and 3D-OM. • Large grain-clusters formed during GBE played a key role to mitigate IGSCC. • The large grain-cluster has tree-ring topology structure and complex morphology. • IGSCC progressed in a zigzag along the outer boundaries of grain-clusters. • Grain-clusters get tangled so that difficult to be separated during IGSCC.
