Damage during cycling loading of polycrystalline metallic alloys involves localized plastic straining at the scale of individual grains. To better understand damage accumulation processes and to build models for material behavior there is a need for quantitative assessment of the heterogeneous strain fields at the grain and even more microscopic scales. In the present study, a digital image correlation (DIC) approach has been developed to measure the strains at the grain level and at finer scales where plastic strain localization is manifested as physical slip bands. Strain fields have been measured in situ and ex situ on a René 88DT polycrystalline nickel-based superalloy to assess the grain-scale deformation processes during monotonic straining in tension and compression. DIC analysis and transmission electron microscopy demonstrate that slip occurs in a highly localized manner. The highest localized strains developed in slip bands that formed on {1 1 1} planes parallel to, and slightly offset from, annealing twins. Enhanced local straining below yield was observed during compression loading. The degree of strain concentration caused by slip bands impinging on grain boundaries was also analyzed. The results are compared to predictions of plasticity models.
