A pink beam from an undulator (period 13 mm) with a peak X-ray energy of ~26 keV, which was filtered with an aluminum plate 5.6 mm thick, was used for this research. These parameters provided a compromise between the penetrating power of X-rays and the contrast of the generated image [31]. During the research the sample mounted in the grips of the tensile machine rotated 360°. A single rotation step was 0.1°. Thus, the process of scanning one sample involved obtaining and subsequent processing of 3,599 X-ray patterns. The exposure time for each X-ray was 50 ms. X-ray patterns were processed using the filtered back projection algorithm to reconstruct the 3D image [32]. In addition to the statistical processing of defects in the structure of the material, an in-depth Fig. 11. Sketch of the specimen with the selected area. The red dots denote the position of the extensometer used to measure the displacement of the deformable zones [30]
