Three-dimensional (3D) microstructure visualization on the electron microscope requires that the sample be tilted to different positions to collect a series of projections. This tilting should be performed rapidly for on-line stereo viewing and precisely for off-line tomographic reconstruction. Usually a projection series is collected using mechanical stage tilt alone. The stereo pairs must be viewed off-line and the 60 to 120 tomographic projections must be aligned with fiduciary markers or digital correlation methods. The delay in viewing stereo pairs and the alignment problems in tomographic reconstruction could be eliminated or improved by tilting the beam if such tilt could be accomplished without image translation.A microscope capable of beam tilt with simultaneous image shift to eliminate tilt-induced translation has been investigated for 3D imaging of thick (1 μm) biologic specimens. By tilting the beam above and through the specimen and bringing it back below the specimen, a brightfield image with a projection angle corresponding to the beam tilt angle can be recorded (Fig. 1a).

The plastic deformation behavior of dual-phase (DP) steel is strongly affected by its underlying three-dimensional (3D) microstructural factors such as spatial distribution and morphology of ferrite and martensite phases. In this paper, we present a coupled simulation method by the multi-phase-field (MPF) model and the crystal plasticity fast Fourier transformation (CPFFT) model to investigate the 3D microstructure-dependent plastic deformation behavior of DP steel. The MPF model is employed to generate a 3D digital image of DP microstructure, which is utilized to create a 3D representative volume element (RVE). Furthermore, the CPFFT simulation of tensile deformation of DP steel is performed using the 3D RVE. Through the simulations, we demonstrate the stress and strain partitioning behaviors in DP steel depending on the 3D morphology of DP microstructure can be investigated consistently.

AbstractTo investigate the structural characteristics and mechanical properties of minerals in vanadium-titanium sinter, the 3D microstructures of the sinter were reconstructed by serial sectioning in conjunction with computer-aided 3D reconstruction techniques The results show that hematite and magnetite in vanadium-titanium sinter will grow along the longitudinal axis direction and act as a scaffold. The size of magnetite crystals in vanadium-titanium sinter is much smaller than that in traditional sinter. The calcium ferrite in vanadium-titanium sinter is columnar-like, while that in traditional sinter is needle-like. The decreasing order of the microhardness value of minerals in the two sinters is hematite, calcium ferrite, magnetite and silicate, while the fracture toughness value from highest to lowest is calcium ferrite, hematite, magnetite and silicate. The comprehensive hardness value and comprehensive fracture toughness value of vanadium-titanium sinter are both less than these of traditional sinter.
