Abstract

Small specimen technologies, such as the small punch test, the indentation test, and the in situ Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM)/Electron Back Scatter Diffraction (EBSD) test, provide important data support for understanding mechanical properties when the size of testing materials is limited, such as for alloys, 3D printing metals, and welding joints, as illustrated in Figure 1 [...].
