Through in-situ experiments, one aims to gain insight into the microstructural processes within the material, for example, during deformation or significant temperature changes – and all this while it is happening! Using a miniature tensile-compression module, samples can be subjected to mechanical loading and heating, for instance, under the scanning electron microscope or the X-ray diffractometer. This allows the observation and quantification of phase transformations, or the identification of strain locations through digital image correlation (DIC) from the resulting images.
