Abstract

The field of materials science and engineering is fundamentally concerned with manipulating the microstructure of materials in order to control their properties. Electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) dramatically enhances our abilities in this regard, by providing extensive crystallographic orientation information of a given two-dimensional section of a microstructure. As this technique has been developed and combined with chemical analysis and serial sectioning methods, it has become possible to access complete three-dimensional chemistry, phase, and crystal orientation information; in short, the microstructural state of a polycrystal may now be completely quantified.
