The evolution of local plastic deformation in a dual-phase (DP) steel has been studied using Digital Image Correlation (DIC) and in-situ tensile testing inside a scanning electron microscope. Tests were performed using specially designed samples to study the initiation and evolution of damage in DP1000 steel by measuring the strains at the scale of the microstructure. Micrographs have been analysed using DIC at different stages throughout a tensile test to measure local strain distributions within the ferrite–martensite microstructure. The results show progressive localisation of deformation into bands orientated at 45° with respect to the loading direction. Strain magnitudes are higher in the ferrite phase with local values reaching up to 120%. Several mechanisms for damage initiation are identified and related to the local strains in this steel. The procedure used and the results obtained in this work may help the development of models aimed at predicting the properties of new generation automotive steels.
