Abstract

A novel method has been developed for preparing in situ straining samples for transmission electron microscopy (TEM) to study dislocation behaviour, here transmission through phase interfaces. A dual-beam focussed ion beam (FIB) microscope was used to extract an oriented foil from locations with specific crystallography in a sample which had been selected using electron backscattered diffraction (EBSD). The foil was attached to a pre-prepared substrate which was then strained in a TEM. The method has been demonstrated successfully by studying the 〈c+a〉 dislocation transmission through α/β interfaces in a commercial Ti-6Al-4V alloy.
