Abstract
High-energy diffraction microscopy (HEDM) constitutes a suite of combined X-ray characterization methods, which hold the unique advantage of illuminating the microstructure and micromechanical state of a material during concurrent in situ mechanical deformation. The data generated from HEDM experiments provides a heretofore unrealized opportunity to validate meso-scale modeling techniques, such as crystal plasticity finite element modeling (CPFEM), by explicitly testing the accuracy of these models at the length scales where the models predict their response. Combining HEDM methods with in situ loading under known and controlled boundary conditions represents a significant challenge, inspiring the recent development of a new high-precision rotation and axial motion system for simultaneously rotating and axially loading a sample. In this paper, we describe the initial HEDM dataset collected using this hardware on an alpha-titanium alloy (Ti-7Al) under in situ tensile deformation at the Advanced Photon Source, Argonne National Laboratory. We present both near-field HEDM data that maps out the grain morphology and intragranular crystallographic orientations and far-field HEDM data that provides the grain centroid, grain average crystallographic orientation, and grain average elastic strain tensor for each grain. Finally, we provide a finite element mesh that can be utilized to simulate deformation in the volume of this Ti-7Al specimen. The dataset supporting this article is available in the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) repository ( https://doi.org/hdl.handle.net/11256/599 ).
Highlights
High-energy diffraction microscopy (HEDM) is a suite of experimental techniques that utilizes high-energy monochromatic synchrotron radiation to non-destructively interrogate the microstructure and micromechanical state of a material during deformation [1,2,3]
The dataset presented in this paper represents concurrently collected near-field HEDM [7,8,9] and far-field HEDM measurements [10,11,12,13]; a first analysis of these data is contained in [14]
The near-field HEDM (nf-HEDM) technique utilizes an area detector placed approximately 5 mm from the specimen and measures the grain morphology and local crystallographic orientations within and between grains, while the far-field HEDM (ff-HEDM) technique measures the centroid and the average elastic strain tensor and crystallographic orientation in each individual grain. These data are coregistered into a single HEDM dataset that tracks the deformation of a polycrystalline material during in situ mechanical loading
