Utilizing high-temperature, high-resolution digital image correlation, we’ve been able to observe the temperature-dependence of plastic localization at the nanoscale across a wide field of view. This approach has led to a deeper understanding of the microstructure-dependence of diffusion creep (Coble creep) phenomena during the deformation of a high-temperature material.
This approach offer new avenues to rapidly predict, and identify the fundamental mechanisms associated with, the high-temperature strength and creep resistance of metals by statistically characterizing high-temperature plastic localization.
