Tanguy joined the OMG team for his final year 'part II' research project.  He worked on nanoscratch experiments on polycrystalline Cu (as a model FCC system) to explore the influence of grain orientations, and grain boundary misorientations  on the nanoscratch response.  EBSD, SEM and AFM will be used to study the scratch track as it crosses the grain boundary and proceeds into the next grain with different crystallographic orientation.  This work adresses fundamental mechanical processes behind wear.
