Stress-assisted grain growth at room temperature is known for materials with nanocrystalline grains. For larger grain sizes, the grain growth usually takes place at higher homologous temperatures even under stress. Here we report, for the first time, significant grain growth at room temperature under fatigue loading in microcrystalline grains (≥10 μm) in Al 7075. We demonstrate that this grain growth at room temperature is similar to non-uniform grain growth due to grain rotation and coalescence ...[more]
