1. The study developed a methodology to investigate micromechanical deformation in two-phase titanium alloys using electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) characterization and focused ion beam micropillar compression testing. 2. EBSD was used to select regions of interest with comparable grain structures between alloy variants, and to inform micropillar fabrication targeting specific slip systems. 3. Results showed the deformation behavior depends on slip system and morphology, and one alloy exhibited slip-system dependent strain rate sensitivity while the other was slip-system independent.
