TRR188_B03-Damage initiation of DP800 at the micro scale
DP800 consists typically of ferrite as the matrix and dispersed martensite islands. This material exhibits not only excellent mechanical properties like high strength and high strains to failure, but also is economically superior due to few required alloying elements.

The size dependent Critical Resolved Shear Stress (CRSS) and corresponding active slip systems of ferrite is investigated by pillar compression [1] while the fracture initiation toughness of damage sensitive sites, i.e. martensite islands, is measured by microcantilever bending tests [2].

The project thereby is not only closely linked to the method development in the micromechanics group, but also has numerous partners for synthesis, characterisation and modelling within the TRR 188.
