EXTENDED ABSTRACT: Dislocation is one of the most important genes in tailoring the microstructure and properties of materials. The comprehensive high throughput characterization of these parameters is the basis for fully understanding the phase transformation and deformation behaviors as well as the performance of materials. We developed a high throughput three-dimensional (3D) characterization technique for dislocations [1], which enables high-throughput and integrated characterization of dislocation geometry and crystallography in 3D. This technique is applied to characterize various dislocation structures in quenched and deformed aluminum alloys. The obtained information on geometric and crystallographic characteristics of dislocations provides strong support for understanding the formation and evolution mechanisms of dislocations.
