During plastic deformation, dislocation boundaries appeared which separated regions of differing orientation. A model for the occurrence of misorientations across these boundaries was proposed, with the emphasis on several types of boundary. For incidental dislocation boundaries, a statistical origin of misorientations was considered. Additional deterministic contributions, arising from geometrical causes, were taken into account for geometrically necessary boundaries. A resultant diversity in the modelled boundary behavior explained experimentally observed differences in the dependence of the average misorientation angle upon plastic deformation.
