The main aim of the present work is to study the relation between microstructural features – such as local misorientations, grain orientation gradients and grain boundary structures – and thermomechanical treatment of hexagonal zirconium (Zr702α). Electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) topological maps are used to analyze the aforementioned material parameters at the early stages of plastic deformation imposed by channel-die compression, as well as at a partial recrystallization state achieved by brief annealing. The evolution of local misorientations and orientation gradients is investigated using the so-called kernel average misorientation (KAM) and grain orientation spread (GOS) statistics implemented in the TSLOIMdata analysis software [TexSEM Laboratories (2004), Draper, UT, USA]. In the case of grain boundaries (GBs) a new method of analysis is presented. As an addition to the classical line segments method, where the grain boundary is represented by line segments that separate particular pairs of neighboring points, an approach that focuses on grain boundary areas is proposed. These areas are represented by sets of EBSD points, which are specially selected from a modified calculation procedure for the KAM. Different evolution mechanisms of intragranular boundaries, low-angle grain boundaries and high-angle grain boundaries are observed depending on the compression direction. The observed differences are consistent with the results obtained from KAM and GOS analysis. It is also concluded that the proposed method of grain boundary characterization seems to be promising, as it provides new and interesting analysis tools such as textures, absolute fractions and other EBSD statistics of the GB areas. This description may be more compatible with a real deformed microstructure, especially for grain boundaries with very small misorientation, which are indeed clustered areas of lattice defect accumulation.

This paper presents the results of an experimental investigation on the effects of orientation and grain size on nanoindentation measurements of hardness and modulus of elasticity for three polycrystalline metals: copper, nickel, and iron. Three geometrically different indenter tips were used, and the pile-ups were characterized with a surface probe instrument. The electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) technique and a scanning electron microscope (SEM) were used to characterize grain orientation and microstructure. It was found that additional contact areas due to pile-ups have a significant effect on determination of mechanical properties by the nanoindenter.

Different Levels

Roping was investigated in two 6016 aluminium alloys that exhibit different levels of susceptibility to its occurrence. The level of roping is lower, as manifested by the less pronounced (roping) lines on the surface, in the GR material compared to the BR case. Through-process characterization of GR and BR materials by means of electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) reveals similarities in the grain size, (grain) orientation texture and the spatial distribution of {100} <001> Cube grains up to, but not including the T4 state. Cube grains in the T4 state are spatially banded in the BR material but more uniformly distributed in the GR case. It was found that the thermo-mechanical treatments prior to the T4 state account for the difference in spatial distributions of Cube grains and hence, the different roping behaviours exhibited by these materials.

Grain boundary self-diffusion in both the cast and the cold-rolled Puratronic 4N5 nickel was studied in the temperature range from 600 °C to 1000 °C. The experiments were carried out with the samples pre-annealed at 1100 °C in comparison to the samples pre-annealed at intended individual diffusion temperatures. The relative grain orientation was analyzed on the same samples by means of electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) and grain boundaries (GBs) were characterized in terms of the coincidence site lattice (CSL) model. Considering the non-linear Arrhenius temperature dependencies obtained for most specimens by using conventional method of profile evaluation in the B-type kinetics and the appearance of two high-diffusivity paths in diffusion profiles measured, a more suitable BB-type and AB-type diffusion models were applied for data evaluation.
