Grain boundary sliding is a mechanism of deformation that occurs in polycrystalline materials, particularly at elevated temperatures or under high stress conditions. In a polycrystalline material, which consists of many small grains or crystals, the interfaces between these grains are called grain boundaries. During deformation, especially at high temperatures (e.g., during processes like creep), the grains can slide past one another at these boundaries.
