Recovery of deformation microstructure in the bulk interior revealed by synchrotron X-ray micro-diffraction

Selective Growth of Recrystallizing Grains into Well-Characterized Deformed Aluminum at Hardness Indentation

“…40-50 µm for vol19) from the indent tip. Notably, only the starting deformation microstructure is used for the analysis, while in reality, the concurrent recovery of the deformed matrix [21,30] should lead to an even faster decrease in stored energy during the growth. Nonetheless, the general decreasing trend and similar magnitude of the stored energy shown in Fig.…”
