Application of electron back scatter diffraction in analysis of phase transformations and deformation

Learning objectives

To understand the possibilities and limitations of Electron Backscatter Diffraction

Contents

Basic introduction to quantitative texture analysis

  • Operational principles of EBSD, including sample preparation
  • Orientation mapping for characterisation of multiphase metals
  • Analysis of plastic deformation and damage
  • New methods for orientation mapping: transmission Kikuchi diffraction in SEM ,automatic crystal orientation mapping in TEM, 3D-EBSD in FIB and in large-scalescans.

Required background

  • Principles of crystallography, defects and texture
  • Principles of Scanning Electron Microscopy
  • Principles of phase transformations and plastic deformation in metals
