  "term": "Intercrystalline",
  "field": "Industrial and trades",
  "definition": "Describing phenomena or features that occur between the individual crystal grains of a polycrystalline material. This region, known as the grain boundary, often exhibits different properties than the bulk of the grains themselves. Intercrystalline corrosion, for example, is a form of attack that preferentially follows these boundaries, weakening the material's structure.",
