Synchrotron X-ray diffraction was applied to study the evolution of lattice strain and stresses in both phases of pearlitic steel during a tensile test. The advantage of the methodology used in this work is the possibility of experimental study of stress localisation, which is directly determined from measurements and can be used to study the process of strain strengthening of lamellar pearlite. It was found that in the elastic range of deformation, both cementite and ferrite are loaded similarly due to the nearly equal elastic properties of both phases, while plastic deformation leads to significant load transfer from ferrite to cementite. Due to the complexity of the lamellar microstructure of the material, the classical elastic-plastic self-consistent model does not correctly predict the partitioning of the stresses between phases during plastic deformation. Therefore, the grain-matrix interaction given by the self-consistent model was …
