Strain Analysis of Multi-Phase Steel Using In-Situ EBSD Tensile Testing and Digital Image Correlation

An in-situ analysis of local strain accommodation on transformation induced plasticity (TRIP) aided multi-phase steel was performed with a correlative application of characterization techniques such as digital image correlation (DIC), electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD), and micro-mechanical testing. The local strain on the complex microstructure of the multi-phase steel was measured during a tensile test using an innovative DIC method...
