Deformation and Recrystallization Mechanisms in Metals
Combining strength and formability, metals are indispensable for modern life. Their properties firmly depend on processing, typically involving a series of plastic deformation steps that introduce defects deep below the surface. Our current understanding of the evolution of defect structures is phenomenological, and strongly limited by characterization tools being either limited to surfaces or not available at deformation levels relevant for metal processing. D-REX strives to radically improve our understanding of structure-property relations in plastic deformation and thermal annealing of metals by visualising and quantifying the structural dynamics in 3D with 100nm resolution – within…
