They exhibit good strength, corrosion resistance, formability and recyclability. Microfabrication technologies, however, may introduce cold work or detrimental heat-induced lattice defects into the material, with consequences for the mechanical properties. Austenitic stainless steels (1.4310, 1.4301) and aluminum alloys (EN AW-5005-H24, EN AW-6082-T6) were selected for this study. The influence of pulsed fiber laser cutting, microwaterjet cutting, and annealing on the strain\u2013stress behavior was investigated. The micro-tensile test setup comprised a flex-structure force sensor, a laser extensometer, and a dedicated sample holder. Fiber laser cut 1.4310 samples exhibited early failure at low fracture strain in narrow shear band zones. The shear band zones were detectable on the sample surface, in the laser extensometer images, in the horizontal sections of the stress\u2013strain curves, and in the microstructure. Inside the shear band zones, grains were strongly elongated and exhibited numerous parallel planar defects. Heat-induced chromium carbides, in combination with low stacking fault energy (SFE) and elevated carbon content, favored shear band zone formation in 1.4310. In contrast, microwaterjet cut high SFE materials EN AW-5005-H24 and EN AW-6082-T6, as well as low-carbon austenitic stainless steel 1.4301, exhibited uniform plastic deformation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/mi16030309","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,6]],"date-time":"2025-03-06T04:55:08Z","timestamp":1741236908000},"page":"309","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["The Influence of Sample Microfabrication and Annealing on the Mechanical Strain\u2013Stress Behavior of Stainless Steels and Corrosion Resistant Aluminum Alloys in Micro-Tensile Tests"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Janko","family":"Auerswald","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Lucerne School of Engineering and Architecture, Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts, 6048 Horw, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Joel","family":"Tenisch","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Lucerne School of Engineering and Architecture, Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts, 6048 Horw, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Christoph","family":"Fallegger","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Lucerne School of Engineering and Architecture, Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts, 6048 Horw, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Markus","family":"Seifert","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research and Development Department, ZwickRoell, 89079 Ulm, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"143507","DOI":"10.1016\/j.msea.2022.143507","article-title":"Influence of strain rate on the tensile properties of metastable austenitic stainless CrNi and CrMnNi spring steels","volume":"850","author":"Volkova","year":"2022","journal-title":"Mater.
