(a) SEM image of a [525] oriented B2 micro-pillar before compression showing a rough surface due to the presence of Cr-rich nano-precipitates; (b) SEM image of [203] oriented L12 micro-pillar before compression; (c) Mixed micro-pillar containing B2 and L12 phases before compression; (d) SEM image of [525] oriented B2 micro-pillar after compression showing plastic barreling effect due to limited slip systems and high hardness; (e) SEM image of [203] oriented L12 micro-pillar after compression showing high density of slip steps due to the activation of more slip systems and homogenous plastic flow; (f) SEM image of mixed micro-pillar after compression.
