Abstract

The desire to improve the performance and lifetime of polycrystalline components has fueled the development of advanced micromechanical modeling tools. Multiscale modeling approaches, such as Crystal Plasticity Finite Element Methods (CPFEM), now possess the ability to illuminate the link between material processing, microstructure, and properties [1]. Whereas traditional FE modeling relies on convergent macroscale properties, the ability of CPFEM to explicitly represent the morphology and local crystallographic orientations of polycrystalline microstructures requires scale-specific, quantitative microstructural information for both input and validation. The development and implementation of experimental techniques for capturing behavior and microstructural properties at salient length scales are needed to inform the determination of representative volume elements (RVEs). Here, accurately capturing microstructural details and observing size effects on material properties are both important. Simply extrapolating from average microstructure descriptors does not provide information about the relative importance of specific grain size, shape, and configuration with neighbors. These are features that can be captured experimentally through advanced characterization techniques, such as 3D serial sectioning [2].
