Abstract
An experimental methodology has been developed to study materials deformed at high temperatures using high resolution ex situ digital image correlation DIC This study is an advancement of techniques that have used subgrain level strain measurements and linked them to microstructural data obtained with electron backscatter diffraction EBSD The approach utilized air blasting particles that were capable of remaining unchanged onto a sample surface and loading the sample at elevated temperatures in vacuum to prevent oxidation Two tensile experiments were performed at temperatures of 700 and 800 °C on Haynes 230 a nickelbased superalloy using DIC at high magnifications in order to study the heterogeneous strain fields Overlaying the strain fields and microstructure data global trends and areas of high strain were studied The strain evolution at these areas was compared to the mean strain accumulation This study represents an advancement of the usefulness of high resolution DIC by expanding the loading conditions that can be studied and provided experimental results to prove the feasibility
