The three-dimensional nature of microbands in a channel die compressed Goss-oriented Ni single crystal

The three-dimensional structure of microband boundaries in a plane strain compressed Goss-oriented nickel single crystal was generated by the electron backscatter diffraction technique. Rather than being perfectly planar, microband boundaries generally contained bumps and curves. The planar segments of these boundaries have orientations that coincide closely with one of the expected {1 1 1} slip planes of this crystal.
