We compare two quantities to describe a microstructure: the length fraction of Σ 3/ Σ 9‐grain boundaries and the number fraction of Σ 3‐x‐x/ Σ 3‐ Σ 3‐ Σ 9‐triple junctions using Cu, Ni and four of their alloys in several microstructural states. The fractions of Σ 3‐grain boundaries show similar tendencies as the respective fractions of Σ 3‐x‐x‐triple junctions in relation to the grain size upon deformation and annealing. However, the fraction of Σ 9‐grain boundaries stagnates at certain grain sizes, while there is still a considerable change of Σ 3‐ Σ 3‐ Σ 9‐triple junctions during grain growth, meaning that the Σ 3‐ Σ 3‐ Σ 9‐triple junction microstructure is still evolving. To analyze the evolution of the triple junction microstructure, a program, such as pythorient, is necessary.
