The maps obtained showed the effectiveness of a three-phase mixture (austenite, ferrite and martensite) in reducing undesirable deformations by 67%.   <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d61dfef elementor-align-left elementor-mobile-align-justify elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"d61dfef\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"https:\/\/hal.science\/hal-04214997v1\" target=\"_blank\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Read the publication<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-6e1961f\" data-id=\"6e1961f\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8b4bb60 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"8b4bb60\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/plassmat.cnrs-imn.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/exemple2-meb_compr.png\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-elementor-lightbox-title=\"Example of EBSD study on SEM\/FIB\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6MzY3NCwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6XC9cL3BsYXNzbWF0LmNucnMtaW1uLmZyXC93cC1jb250ZW50XC91cGxvYWRzXC8yMDIzXC8xMVwvZXhlbXBsZTItbWViX2NvbXByLnBuZyJ9\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"513\" height=\"383\" src=\"https:\/\/plassmat.cnrs-imn.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/exemple2-meb_compr.png\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-3674\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/plassmat.cnrs-imn.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/exemple2-meb_compr.png 513w, https:\/\/plassmat.cnrs-imn.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/exemple2-meb_compr-300x224.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 513px) 100vw, 513px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f8bacab elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"f8bacab\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-e1a00bb elementor-reverse-mobile elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"e1a00bb\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-56e8495\" data-id=\"56e8495\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9032124 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9032124\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>Example of an EDS study with the 5800LV: EDS mapping<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-80e8570 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"80e8570\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The recycling of radioisotopes of iodine, a highly volatile element, has not yet been mastered.
