Validation of Material Models in Grain Scale Simulation based on EBSD Experimental Data

A crystal plasticity model and a homogenization method are used to analyze the local and global mechanical behavior of a ferritic stainless steel. In the first step the material constants are determined based on tensile tests and used to simulate the local deformation behavior on the grain scale in the second step. For that 2D EBSD data are discretized by finite elements. The computed local grain reorientations of three different BCC slip systems are compared to experimental data at the state of 20% elongation.
