A novel algorithm is introduced for fast and nondestructive reconstruction of grain maps from X-ray diffraction data. The discrete algebraic reconstruction technique (DART) takes advantage of the intrinsic discrete nature of grain maps, while being based on iterative algebraic methods known from classical tomography. To test the properties of the algorithm, three-dimensional X-ray diffraction microscopy data are simulated and reconstructed with DART as well as by a conventional iterative technique, namely SIRT (simultaneous iterative reconstruction technique). For 100 × 100 pixel reconstructions and moderate noise levels, DART is shown to generate essentially perfect two-dimensional grain maps for as few as three projections per grain with running times on a PC in the range of less than a second. This is seen as opening up the possibility for fast reconstructions in connection within situstudies.

Near-field high-energy X-ray diffraction microscopy has been used to characterize the three-dimensional (3-D) crystallographic orientation field of the hexagonal close-packed α phase in a bulk Ti–6Al–4V specimen with a lamellar (β-annealed) microstructure. These data have been segmented using a 3-D misorientation-based grain finding algorithm, providing unprecedented information about the complex 3-D morphologies and spatial misorientation distributions of the transformed α lamella colonies. A 3-D Burgers orientation relationship-based flood-fill algorithm has been implemented to reconstruct the morphologies and crystallographic orientations of the high-temperature body-centered cubic prior-β grains. The combination of these data has been used to gain an understanding of the role of the prior-β grain structure in the formation of specific morphologies and spatial misorientation distributions observed in the transformed α colony structures. It is hoped that this understanding can be used to develop transformation structures optimized for specific applications and to produce more physically realistic synthetic microstructures for use in simulations.

We have used high energy x-ray diffraction microscopy (HEDM) to study annealing behavior in high purity aluminum. In-situ measurements were carried out at Sector 1 of the Advanced Photon Source. The microstructure in a small sub-volume of a 1 mm diameter wire was mapped in the as-received state and after two differential anneals. Forward modeling analysis reveals three dimensional grain structures and internal orientation distributions inside grains. The analysis demonstrates increased ordering with annealing as well as persistent low angle internal boundaries. Grains that grow from disordered regions are resolution limited single crystals. Together with this recovery behavior, we observe subtle motions of some grain boundaries due to annealing.

By Three Dimensional X-ray Diffraction (3DXRD) microscopy it is possible to characterize microstructures non-destructively in 3 dimensions. The measurements are furthermore typically so fast that dynamics may be monitored in-situ, giving also the 4th dimension, namely the time. The 3DXRD technique is based on diffraction of high energy x-rays from third generation synchrotron sources. In the present paper the 3DXRD technique is described and it’s potentials are illustrated by examples relating to elastic and plastic strains, recovery, recrystallization and grain growth.
