Title: In-situ synchrotron X-ray microdiffraction study of lattice rotation in polycrystalline materials during uniaxial deformations

Conference ·
OSTI ID:837414

Recent experiments have shown that formation of dislocation cell structures and rotation of structural elements at the macroscopic level are fundamental to the development of plastic deformation. However, attention should also be focused on micro-volumes because local stress and strain can significantly differ from their averaged values at the macroscale. In-situ orientation measurements in copper polycrystals during uniaxial deformation were performed using synchrotron x-ray microdiffraction at the Advanced Light Source. We observed heterogeneities in deformation-induced microstructure within individual grains. Different slip systems in particular can be simultaneously activated among neighboring volume elements of individual grains.
