The mechanical properties of polycrystalline metals are governed by the interaction of
defects that are generated by deformation within the 3D microstructure. In materials that …

The acquisition of high-fidelity 3D grain maps is essential for advancing our understanding
of the micromechanical behavior of polycrystalline materials. Grain orientations, grain …

Understanding strain localization in titanium and titanium alloys is central to depicting better
how individual grains plastically deform and how grain orientation distribution, ie, the local …

The purpose of this work was to characterize the spatial distribution of residual deformation
at the mesoscale (a few grains) and at the macroscale (hundreds of grains) in titanium …

Using a four-point bend sample of commercial purity titanium deformed to a surface strain
around 1.5 pct, the active dislocation slip and twin systems in a microstructural patch of …

High-resolution digital image correlation was employed to analyze the occurrence of slip
transfer across grain boundaries in pure Ti. The microstructure was characterized in 3D …

The interaction of a slip band and a grain boundary in deformed, commercially pure titanium
was examined using high-resolution electron backscatter diffraction (HR-EBSD) and …

Here we analyze a three-dimensional distribution of crystallographic slip measured in-situ
during the uniaxial deformation of hexagonal Ti-7Al. The slip field is reconstructed using a …

The microstructure of polycrystals is known to govern the performance of structural materials.
This drives the need for mechanical characterization methods capable of probing large …

A new electron channeling contrast imaging (ECCI) based approach for the characterization
of heterogeneous plastic deformation across multiple grains in a polycrystal is presented …
