Microstructure of Cu-Al-Mn alloy during abnormal grain growth (AGG). a Optical micrograph of Cu-Al-Mn sheet quenched from 900 °C in the heating process after cooling from 900 to 500 °C (Supplementary Fig. 4a). The dashed lines indicate high-angle boundaries. b Inverse pole figure (IPF) mapping. The color means the crystal direction with respect to the normal direction of the sheet and corresponds to crystal direction given in the stereographic triangle. c Grain reference orientation deviation (GROD) mapping calculated as the misorientation angle with respect to a reference orientation (average orientation of a grain) in each grain. The dashed lines indicate high-angle boundaries. Scale bar, 1 mm
