Nanoindentation measurement capabilities at elevated temperatures have developed
considerably over the last two decades. Commercially available systems can now perform …

Nanoindentation based techniques were significantly enhanced by continuous stiffness
monitoring capabilities. In essence, this allowed to expand from point-wise discrete …

This study investigated the plastic deformation behavior of a polycrystalline L1 2-structured
FeCoNiV high-entropy alloy (HEA) using in situ electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) and …

Microstructures of multi-phase alloys undergo morphological and crystallographic changes
upon deformation, corresponding to the associated microstructural strain fields. The multiple …

The development and validation of crystal plasticity models requires the ability to map
deformation at the microstructural scale. Here, a new method of high-resolution deformation …

We elucidate here the contribution of intragranular acicular ferrite (IAF) on impending crack
initiation and propagation in the heat-affected-zone (HAZ) of low carbon steels based on …

Detailed microstructure characterisation and in-situ micropillar compression were coupled
with crystal plasticity-based finite element modelling (CP-FEM) to study the micro …

Background The continuous development of new multiphase alloys with improved
mechanical properties requires quantitative microstructure-resolved observation of the …

The deformation of all materials can be separated into elastic and plastic parts. Measuring
the purely plastic component is complex but crucial to fully characterize, understand, and …

In-situ mechanical testing in a scanning electron microscope (SEM) equipped with an
electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) system has quickly gained popularity, particularly …
