Microstructure reconstructions resulting from diffraction contrast tomography data of polycrystalline bulk strontium titanate were reinvestigated by means of electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) characterization. Corresponding two-dimensional grain maps from the two characterization methods were aligned and compared, focusing on the spatial resolution at the internal interfaces. The compared grain boundary networks show a remarkably good agreement both morphologically and in crystallographic orientation. Deviations are critically assessed and discussed in the context of diffraction data reconstruction and EBSD data collection techniques.

AbstractElectron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) is becoming a widely used technique to determine crystallographic orientation in biogenic carbonates. Despite this use, there is little information available on preparation for the analysis of biogenic carbonates. EBSD data are compared for biogenic aragonite and calcite in the common blue mussel, Mytilus edulis, using different types of resin and thicknesses of carbon coating. Results indicate that carbonate biomineral samples provide better EBSD results if they are embedded in resin, particularly epoxy resin. A uniform layer of carbon of 2.5 nm thickness provides sufficient conductivity for EBSD analyses of such insulators to avoid charging without masking the diffracted signal. Diffraction intensity decreases with carbon coating thickness of 5 nm or more. This study demonstrates the importance of optimizing sample preparation for EBSD analyses of insulators such as carbonate biominerals.

The mechanical behaviour and texture evolution during uniaxial compression of Zircaloy-4 at different temperatures (25, 300, 500 C) has been studied. At room temperature and 300 C the texture evolution and strain-hardening behaviour observed are attributed to the activation of {10-12} tensile twinning, which can be identified in optical micrographs and electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) data. The influence of twinning upon the texture evolution and hardening rate becomes less apparent with increasing temperature. Nevertheless twinning is still active at 500 C. Simulation of the texture evolution at 500 C using crystal plasticity finite element modelling (CPFEM) indicates that slip alone cannot explain the experimentally observed textures at this temperature.

A combination of electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) and focused ion beam (FIB) techniques were used to obtain 3D EBSD data in an investigation of dynamic recrystallization in a Cu-2%Sn bronze alloy. The results of this investigation show the origin of the nucleation sites for dynamic recrystallization and also elucidates the orientation relationship of the recrystallized grains to the deformed, prior grains and between the dynamically recrystallized grains.

Two methods for measuring dislocation density were applied to a series of plastically deformed tensile samples of Zircaloy-2. Samples subjected to plastic strains ranging from 4 to 17% along a variety of loading paths were characterized using both electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) and synchrotron X-ray line profile analysis (LPA). It was found that the EBSD-based method gave results which were similar in magnitude to those obtained by LPA and followed a similar trend with increasing plastic strain. The effects of microscope parameters and post-processing of the EBSD data on dislocation density measurements are also discussed. The typical method for estimating uncertainty in dislocation density measured via EBSD was shown to be overly conservative, and a more realistic method of determining uncertainty is presented as an alternative.

Electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) has undergone a rapid transformation in the past 15 years from a curiosity and a minority interest into an important part of our arsenal of microstructure characterisation techniques. In this time, it has been very widely applied in metallurgy, especially in understanding the influence of processing on local crystallographic textures and on boundary populations. More recently, it has been used in a diverse range of different fields including semiconductors, ceramics, geological materials and even palaeontology. In this article we will show how EBSD can yield invaluable information about domain structures in ferroelectrics.

Abstract In recent years, the incremental shrinking process has been widely used in the forming process of aluminum alloy components for the railway vehicles. The effect of the incremental shrinking process on the performance and microstructure of 6082-T6 aluminum alloy was investigated through mechanical tests and electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) analysis. The tensile test specimens prepared in different rolling orientations (0˚,45˚and 90˚) along the original and deformed sheets exhibited the mechanical anisotropy. After the incremental shrinking process, the average microhardness, tensile strength, and yield strength of this alloy were respectively increased by nearly 8.78%,2.26%,2.72%, while the Elongation was decreased by almost 31.67%. By analyzing the EBSD data, the strength of the material is increased by the incremental shrinking process and its mechanical anisotropy is improved, whereas its plasticity is greatly deteriorated.

AbstractElectron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) analysis of monazite requires a comparison of empirically collected electron backscatter patterns (EBSPs) with theoretical diffraction data, or ‘match units’, derived from known crystallographic parameters. Published crystallographic data derived from compositionally varying natural and synthetic monazite are used to calculate ten different match units for monazite. These match units are used to systematically index EBSPs obtained from four natural monazite samples with different compositions. Analyses of EBSD data, derived from the indexing of five and six diffraction bands using each of the ten match units for 10,000 EBSPs from each of the four samples, indicate a large variation in the ability of the different match units to correctly index the different natural samples. However, the use of match units derived from either synthetic Gd or Eu monazite crystallographic data yield good results for three of the four analysed monazites. Comparison of sample composition with published monazite compositions indicates that these match units are likely to yield good results for the EBSD analysis of metamorphic monazite. The results provide a clear strategy for optimizing the acquisition and analysis of EBSD data from monazite but also indicate the need for the collection of new crystallographic structure data and the subsequent generation of more appropriate match units for natural monazite.
