A comprehensive study of plastic deformation mechanism of the metallic materials by ‘X-ray’ computed tomography (‘X-ray’ CT)

The study of microstructure and texture deformation of the metallic materials necessitates detailed information of physical evidence about the plastic deformation mechanism, which involves a direct relationship between mechanical properties and their behaviours under the working conditions. Generally, the mechanical properties of materials are essentially the function of their structure and their compositions. So, the study of texture deformation of mechanical parts with an efficient way in manufacturing engineering is of considerable practical interest. The present paper entails the study of the deformation mechanism in microscopic scale—in situ observation of microstructure and texture deformation by using ‘X-ray’ computed tomography (CT) Medical Scanner installed in the CNAM-Paris, Industrial Materials Laboratory, for evaluating the plastic deformation mechanism. A tomographic inner-health analysis will be presented from 2D slices of the examined parts in the laboratory scale on the as-received and heat-treated aluminium specimens.
