Electron probe microanalysis (EPMA) is a microanalytical technique widely used for the
characterization of materials. Since its development in the 1950s, different instrumental and …

A globular α recrystallization has been discovered at the surface of net shape electron beam
powder-bed fusion (PBF-EB) Ti-6Al-4V alloy parts. This recrystallization is the result of …

Indentation induced plastic zone size was studied using electron channelling contrast
imaging in polycrystalline Fe. Nanoindentation tests were carried out in samples that were …

In materials science, knowledge about elastic and plastic strain, as well as their distribution
in crystalline materials, is critical when studying phenomena such as stress fatigue …

EBSD is a scanning electron microscope-based technique widely used for investigating the
microstructure of crystalline materials. EBSD strain measurement techniques rely on …

The microstructural characterization of ion battery cathode materials is often studied by
transmission electron microscope (TEM) due to its high spatial and angular resolution which …

Background: Surface topography of pile-up and sink-in is an issue of strain-hardening
behavior around pyramidal and spherical indentations. The relationship between the …

The Vickers microindentation and spherical nanoindentation tests were carried out on a
polycrystalline Mg–0.3 Al–0.2 Ca alloy specimen. Specimens were prepared with chemical …

Understanding strain and strain distribution in industrial materials is critical when studying
phenomena such as stress fatigue of welds or solder junctions. The microelectronics fields …

Nanomechanics experiments have firmly established the existence of genuine size effects in
the strength of crystalline solids that deform by dislocation plasticity. Plastic deformation …
