![]() ![]() A resolution of 100 nm in the total removed layer was attainable via careful control of the polishing parameters. At the subsurface region, exposed by on-top mechanical polishing, the flatter nature of the polished surfaces allowed the acquisition of EBSD patterns with enough quality for microtexture analysis. We observed that as-nitrided virgin surfaces were not suitable for EBSD characterization, due to intense surface roughening, which was induced by the nitriding process itself. The suitability of the polished surfaces for conducting EBSD characterization was assessed through an analysis of both the surface roughness (appraised by atomic force microscopy) and the quality of the Kikuchi diffraction patterns. Noticeable fractions of equiaxed grains surrounded by low angle boundaries (misorientation and respectively.Ībstract This contribution reports on an experimental polishing procedure, that is comprised of early grinding in Al2O3 slurries and late polishing in colloidal silica, which is used for preparing the nitrided region of a plasma nitrided austenitic stainless steel, for crystallographic analysis via electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD). The results show smaller grains after the 1 st ARB pass, with substantial grew after the 2 nd ARB pass due to the higher temperature owing adiabatic warming. Two ARB cycles were performed in this study, at room temperature, and the samples were characterised by EBSD. This paper presents an Electron Backscatter Diffraction (EBSD) analysis of the effect of temperature on grain size, grain boundaries and texture of Aluminium Alloy 1050-H4 during Accumulative Roll Bonding (ARB). In summary, an outlook for EBSD technique was provided. Sample preparation methods were reviewed and EBSD ap-plication in conjunction with other characterization techniques on a variety of materials has been presented for several case studies. Image quality, resolution and speed, and system calibration have also been discussed. Principles of crystal diffraction with description of crystallographic orientation, orientation determination and phase identification have been described. Key milestones re-lated to technological developments of EBSD technique have been outlined along with possible applications using modern EBSD system. ![]() Captured patterns can then be used to determine grain morphology, crystallographic orientation and chemistry of present phases, which provide complete characterization of microstructure and strong correlation to both properties and performance of materials. These results show that EBSD promises to be a powerful and robust technique in the characterization of nanoparticles.Electron Back-Scatter Diffraction (EBSD) is a powerful technique that captures electron diffraction patterns from crystals, constituents of material. Finally, the complete ensemble of crystalline orientations for individual nanoparticles is then compared to the global averaged crystallinity of the sample, as measured by X-ray diffraction. Each individual AuNP is observed to be single crystalline. In addition, crystallographic information for each individual nanoparticle is gathered using EBSD. On the other hand, reversed-contrast EBSPs are observed when the beam is positioned near the bottom of the nanoparticle. The top of the nanoparticle, where the local geometry of the system is similar to the geometry of a macroscopically flat sample, is found to produce diffraction patterns of the highest quality. It is determined that for a high quality Electron Backscatter Diffraction Pattern (EBSP), the production of diffracted backscattered electrons travelling towards the detector must be high and the depth of the source point must be low. The challenges of obtaining crystallographic information from nanoparticles using EBSD are qualitatively and quantitatively described through an evaluation of the quality of the diffraction pattern at various locations of the primary electron beam on the nanoparticle. ![]() Samples under investigation are prepared by depositing a thin film of Au on an MgAl2O4 substrate, and then finally heated in a furnace to induce dewetting and cluster formation. This work focuses on the use and limitations of EBSD in the characterization of Au nanoparticles on an MgAl2O4 substrate.
