EBSP, PROGRESS IN TECHNIQUE AND APPLICATIONS

To measure grain orientation in SEM with high accuracy a new EBSP cali bration software is developed. Grain orientation determination is simp ly based on marking three zone axes in the live EBSP. The EBSP-techniq ue has been applied to study misorientation between subgrains in high purity and commercially pure aluminium. The lattice curvatures, which develop during deformation, increase with the amount of deformation. D uring annealing the subgrains grow, resulting in an increased average neighbouring misorientation due to misorientation accumulation.
