Free bending - CuZr Initial state Preliminary results, very rough EBSD scans for coarse grain size evolution observation. Grain size – several hundreds of microns Equiaxed grains, twins, slightly deformed Some grains are badly indexed – sample preparation must be improved
Free bending - CuZr Initial state 1 pass Only minor effect Right image – black HAGB, orange LAGB
Free bending - Cu Initial state 2 passes, 180° Grains are deformed but not refined Right image – black HAGB, orange LAGB Small parts seem to be refined, but these are probably just badly indexed
Free bending - CuZr Initial state 2 passes, 180° 4 passes, 180° Grains are heavily deformed but most of them still not refined
Free bending - CuZr Initial state 2 passes, 90° Grains look slightly more deformed and refined than after 2 passes with 180° rotation
Free bending - CuZr Initial state 2 passes, 90° 3 passes, 90° Grains are heavily deformed Average size about 100 microns
Free bending - CuZr Initial state 2 passes, 90° 3 passes, 90° Different magnification! Grains are heavily deformed and refined Duplex structure: Small grains bellow 1 micron Large grains about 10 microns
