Correlating nanoindentation data with EBSD maps revealed how crystallographic orientation affects elastic and plastic behavior, capturing Titanium's unique "metal fingerprint."
By downloading this application note, you will learn:
- How to use nanoindentation and EBSD techniques to identify the "metal fingerprint" of anisotropic metals.
- How to evaluate elastic and plastic anisotropy in HCP metals like Titanium, including how property distributions change with crystallographic declination angles.
- EBSD and displacement-controlled nanoindentation mapping are effective methods for studying orientation-property connections with great sensitivity and precision.
