Title: Hierarchical Characterization of Deformation Heterogeneities inBCC crystals

Conference ·
OSTI ID:901236

Deformation behavior of body-centered cubic (BCC) metals is being investigated by white beam x-ray microdiffraction to characterize the dislocation structure that results from uniaxial compression experiments. The measurements were performed on molybdenum single crystals and a tantalum bicrystal as part of a hierarchical characterization effort. Results show heterogeneities in the deformed structure and misorientation maps consistent with results obtained from Orientation Imaging Microscopy (OIM). Additionally, the technique allows for the determination of the active glide systems as well as of the dislocation densities in function of the position in the sample.
