(a, d, g, l) Top-view of the rolling plane: optical micrographs after chemical etching with Klemm's II reagents, (b, e, h,m) 3D reconstructions (SEM images) and (c, f, i, n) EBSD grain distribution maps (rolling plane) of the Cu-based materials: (a, b, c) Cu R; (d, e, f) Cu R + A; (g, h, i) Cu15Zn; (l, m, n) Cu18Ni20Zn. White arrows indicate microbands (i.e., aggregation of slip lines) formed by intensive strain hardening; yellow arrows indicate twin bands and black arrows indicate kink bands.
