Interactions between slip bands and interfaces in a compressed duplex stainless steel

Interactions between slip bands (SBs) and interfaces in a compressed duplex stainless steel (DSS) are investigated regarding the roles of grain boundaries (GBs) and phase boundaries (PBs) in plastic deformation. Digital image correlation based on scanning electron microscopy, and electron backscatter diffraction are utilized to characterize SBs in ferrite and austenite phases, and the interactions between interfaces and SBs: slip transmission,...
