Extract

For a complete description of a material's microstructure the morphology as well as the distributions of chemical elements and of crystal lattice orientations must be known. While morphology is a standard issue of electron microscopy, and element distributions can be mapped readily using an EDX appliance, crystal lattice orientations in the bulk surface are accessible in routine work only recently [1, 2]. Backscatter Kikuchi patterns (BKP), also termed electron backscattering patterns (EBSP), are widely used for the determination of individual grain orientations in the surface of bulk polycrystals.
