The topic covers microstructure modifications using thermomechanical processing and experimental identification of thermomechanical properties under various thermomechanical loading conditions. Deformation processes related and accompanying martensitic transformations are characterized and studied using multiple techniques including advanced in-situ methods such as x-ray and neutron diffraction, electrical resistometry, digital image correlation, thermography and dynamical mechanical analyzes [1-5].
