High-speed characterization of the deformation mechanisms in polycrystalline metals requires the quantification of full strain fields and local microstructural evolutions simultaneously. In this paper, we present a novel experimental method to integrate phase-contrast imaging (PCI), stereographic digital image correlation (stereo-DIC), and full-ring X-ray diffraction (XRD) to allow for the simultaneous characterization of polycrystalline metals at 1MHz or higher. A Kolsky bar was integrated into the synchrotron X-ray source in Sector 32 ID-B at the Advance Photon Source (APS) at Argonne National Laboratory. When the sample is dynamically loaded, the diagnostic methods of full-ring XRD, PCI, and stereo-DIC are properly synchronized to record the deformation behavior at both continuum and microstructural scales as a function of the loading history. An advanced high-strength steel (AHSS) is used as a model material to demonstrate the capabilities of this new experimental method.
