Examination of fatigue crack plastic zones using scanning-electron-microscope-based electron diffraction techniques

Two new scanning-electron-microscope-based electron diffraction techniques for examining strain fields in plastic zones associated with fatigue cracks are described. Electron channelling contrast imaging (ECCI) revealed the size and shape of the plastic zone much more swiftly and completely than an...
