Grain flow is a typical grain pattern generated during forging of metal. When a piece of metal is cold or hot forged by applying external force or pressure, then metal starts deforming normal to the direction of application of pressure. During the process of permanent deformation, metal grains get deformed & generate what is known as" flow lines ". This is called Grain Flow. It can be seen by chemically etching cross sectional piece of forge metal shown fig below.

Grain flow in forging?

When metal under goes mechanical working (forging) and deformation takes place, the grains in the metal get aligned in the direction of material flow. When you cut and polish the forging in the direction of material flow and macro etch, the surface will reveal fibre like structure. This is known as grain flow.
