Abstract

Relationships between the three-dimensional (3D) grain structure and the local strain distribution within individual grains are investigated. Multimodal X-ray tomography, i.e. attenuation tomography (ACT) and diffraction contrast tomography (LabDCT), was applied, for the first time using a laboratory instrument, to non-destructively characterize the grain structure and the local plastic deformation behavior of a fully recrystallized Al-4mass%Cu alloy. The evolution of the internal strain distribution during tensile deformation was measured in-situ by means of a microstructural feature tracking (MFT) method based on ACT. By a correlation analysis of the microstructural parameters of 855 grains, it was investigated if and how the initial crystallographic orientations and sizes of the grains affect the local deformations. In addition, effects of grain boundaries were analyzed. Only weak correlations are found. It is suggested that specific interactions between neighboring grains, which depend on parameters such as grain shapes and orientation differences, are of critical importance for the development of the local strains.
