Single-crystal deformation experiments are the most precise, yet, also among the most challenging experiments to interpret for identification of mechanical properties of metals. This applies particularly for extracting the work hardening properties from such experiments.
Recently, efficient methods were presented to derive single-phase mechanical properties from the combined application of nanoindentation, electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) orientation mapping, atomic force microscopy (AFM) topographic measurements, and crystal plasticity finite element (CPFE) modeling.
