It was recalled that the ability of grain boundaries to move was strongly dependent upon the misorientation of the adjacent grains and the inclination of the grain boundary in the crystal. Boundary mobility was rate-controlling in recrystallization and grain growth, and therefore affected microstructural evolution and texture formation. The present review covered recent advances in the understanding of the misorientation and inclination dependences of grain boundary migration.
