The grain boundary network (GBN) was controlled by grain boundary engineering (GBE) in a 304 stainless steel. The total length proportion of Sigma 3(n) coincidence site lattice (CSL) boundaries was increased to more than 70% associating with the formation of large size highly twinned grain-cluster microstructure. Only coherent twin boundaries (Sigma 3(c)) were found to be resistant to intergranular corrosion (IGC) and only such boundaries could be termed special ones. The improvement of resistance to IGC of the GBE specimen can be attributed to the large size grain-clusters associated with high proportion of the Sigma 3(n) boundaries and the interconnected Sigma 3(n)-type triple junctions.
