Unlike the conventional pathway, the fabrication process is performed after polishing. This point is crucial as the used polishing technology could be applied only to flat geometries. The performed investigation demonstrates that damages during the fabrication process are considered minor, localized, and limited to the near-surface. Moreover, these studies confirm that the damaged layer (100-200 µm) is mainly caused by the rolling process, and not by the subsequent fabrication steps. A laser confocal microscope and SEM-EBSD technique were used to compare samples before and after forming. The preliminary results are discussed and presented in this paper.}}, }
