Abstract From analysis of numerous experimental data on grain boundary (GB) statistics in polycrystals it has been established that certain groups of materials with cubic structure reveal similar GB character distributions (GBCD) (distribution of GBs by reciprocal density of coincidence sites ∑). It has been shown that GBCD can be described with an empirical low with different parameters for various groups. Several criteria for classification of materials by these groups (the stacking fault energy value, hierarchy of GB energies and mechanism of replacement of high-energy GBs with low-energy ones) have been considered. It has been found that peculiarities of electronic structure of materials are correlated with the classification proposed.
