Figure 1. (A) The appearance of the thermomechanical processing simulator on the diffractometer ‘TAKUMI’; Diffraction geometries used for (B) in-situ and (C) ex-situ neutron diffraction experiments; (D) Schematic illustration of the DIH and ausforming and AIH processes, i.e., non-ausforming and ausforming cases, respectively. DIH: Direct isothermal holding; AIH: ausforming and isothermal holding.
