Applications in Metallurgy

The EBSD technique had been applied to the metallurgical research field for over a decade. Many of the materials have a relatively simple crystallographic structure (e.g. aluminium and steels), allowing EBSD data to be collected very quickly and with a high degree of reliability. The technique can be used for a wide range of applications, ranging from routine grain size and texture characterisation, to detailed phase identification of boundary precipitates. In these application notes a selection of the typical applications of EBSD in metallurgy is given.
