The present work was undertaken to shed additional light on the globular-α microstructure produced during FSP of Ti-6Al-4V. To this end, the electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) technique was employed to characterize the crystallographic aspects of such microstructure. In contrast to the previous reports in the literature, neither the texture nor the misorientation distribution in the α phase were random. Although the texture was weak, it showed a clear prevalence of the P1 and C-fiber simple-shear orientations, thus providing evidence for an increased activity of the prism-<a> and pyramidal <c+a> slip systems. In addition, the misorientation distribution exhibited a crystallographic preference of 60° and 90° boundaries. This observation was attributed to a partial α→β→α phase transformation during/following high-temperature deformation and the possible activation of mechanical twinning.

Texture and microstructure of FSW joined Al and Cu sheets were investigated by means of electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) technique. The analysis has revealed a strong texture evolution on both sides of the weld interface as well as a very complex microstructure. Grains were found to be fully recrystallized on both sides of the weld and with different average diameters at different specific zones of the weld.

To ensure the long service life of concrete buildings in the marine environment, it is urgent to develop building materials with good corrosion resistance and weatherability. Stainless steel cladding is suitable for a highly corrosive environment and provides cost advantages. This paper investigated the deformation coordination and the microstructure evolution near the cladding interface of stainless steel/carbon steel. The stress-strain curves at different temperatures and strain rates were analyzed on the basis of high-temperature compression experiments. In addition, the sin-hyperbolic constitutive model was constructed, and the optimized parameters were obtained using electron backscatter diffraction characterization technology. The results show that at the deformation temperature of 1100 °C and the strain rate of 1 s−1, the deformation coordination increases significantly near the interface, accompanied by a large number of recrystallized grains, which has a positive impact on the comprehensive performance of the materials.

Deformation Area

In order to determine the evolution features of deformation twins for TA2 commercial pure titanium (cp-TA2), the TA2 samples were bent under different bending angles in three-point bending tests via a universal testing machine. The electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) technique was applied to identify the grain boundaries (GBs) and twin boundaries (TBs) in the bending areas. The results reveal that the type of deformation area would effect the evolution of different deformation twins. It is inferred that the state of stress would promote the multiplication of the same type of deformation twins.

Additively manufactured tungsten and its alloys have been widely used for plasma facing components (PFCs) in future nuclear fusion reactors. Under the fusion process, PFCs experience a high-temperature exposure, which will ultimately affect the microstructural features, keeping in mind the importance of microstructures. In this study, microhardness and electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) techniques were used to study the specimens. Vickers hardness method was used to study tungsten under different parameters. EBSD technique was used to study the microstructure and Kikuchi pattern of samples under different orientations. We mainly focused on selective laser melting (SLM) parameters and the effects of these parameters on the results of different techniques used to study the behavior of samples.

Zinc Oxide is a wide band-gap compound semiconductor that has been used in optoelectronic and photovoltaic applications due to its good electrical and optical properties. Aluminium has been an efficient n-type dopant for ZnO to produce low resistivity films and high transparency to visible light. In addition, the improvement of these properties also depends on the morphology, crystalline structure and deposition parameters. In this work, ZnO:Al films were produced by d.c. pulsed magnetron sputtering deposition from a ZnO ceramic target (2.0 wt% Al2O3) on glass substrates, at a temperature of 250 ºC.The crystallographic orientation of aluminum doped zinc oxide (ZnO:Al) thin films has been studied by Electron Backscatter Diffraction (EBSD) technique. EBSD coupled with Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) is a powerful tool for the microstructural and crystallographic characterization of a wide range of materials.The investigation by EBSD technique of such films presents some challenges since this analysis requires a flat and smooth surface. This is a necessary condition to avoid any shadow effects during the experiments performed with high tilting conditions (70º). This is also essential to ensure a good control of the three dimensional projection of the crystalline axes on the geometrical references related to the sample.Crystalline texture is described by the inverse pole figure (IPF) maps (Figure 1). Through EBSD analysis it was observed that the external surface of the film presents a strong texture on the basal plane orientation (grains highlighted in red colour). Furthermore it was possible to verify that the grain size strongly depends on the deposition time (Figure 1 (a) and (b)). The electrical and optical film properties improve with increasing of the grain size, which can be mainly, attributed to the decrease in scattering grain boundaries which leads to an increasing in carrier mobility (Figure 2).The authors kindly acknowledge the financial support from the Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT) scientific program for the National Network of Electron Microscopy (RNME) EDE/1511/RME/2005.

Isothermal compressions of as-cast near-α Ti90 titanium alloy were carried out on a Gleeble-3800 simulator in the temperature range of 860–1040 °C and strain rates of 0.001–10 s−1. The deformation behavior of the alloy was characterized based on the analyses of flow curves, the constructions of Arrhenius constitutive equations and the processing map. The microstructure evolution of the alloy was analyzed using the optical microscopic (OM), transmission electron microscope (TEM), and electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) techniques. The results show that the kinking and dynamic globularization of α lamellae is the dominant mechanism of flow softening in the α + β two-phase region, while the dynamic recovery (DRV) of β phase is the main softening mechanism in the β single-phase region. The dynamic globularization of α lamellae is mainly caused by the wedging of β phase into α laths and the shearing of α laths due to imposed shear strain. The activation of prismatic and pyramidal slip is found to be easier than that of basic slip during the deformation in the α + β two-phase region. In addition, the Schmid factor of equiaxial α is different from that of lamellar α, which also varies with the angle between its geometric orientation and compression direction (CD). Based on the processing map, the low η region within the temperature range of 860–918 °C with a strain rate range of 0.318–10 s−1 should be avoided to prevent the occurrence of deformation instability.

Orientation Determination

Snowflake-shaped dendrites of β-eucryptite–β-quartz solid solution were artificially crystallized in a matt glaze, and the crystallographic orientation of the dendrites was analysed by the electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) technique. The six branches of a snowflake-shaped dendrite in the plane (0001) are along 〈110〉. From the orientation determination, a twin relationship and a topotactic relationship between dendrites were found. The twin axes are [011], [0{\overline 1}1] and [210], and the twin planes perpendicular to the twin axes are ({\overline 1}2{\overline 1}2) and (1{\overline 2}12). From the reticular theory of twinning, it was calculated that the twin indexn= 2 and the obliquity ω = 3.2877°. The studied dendrite is a twin by reticular pseudomerohedry with low twin index and obliquity. In the topotactic growth, no twin elements have been found, but the three main crystallographic directions 〈001〉, 〈210〉 and 〈110〉 of the two dendritic crystals overlap each other. The degree of lattice coincidence between the two crystals in this topotactic growth is also discussed.

The high-temperature deformation behavior of the single-phase α (Ti-7.0Al-1.5V) and α + β (Ti-6Al-4V) alloy were determined and compared within the framework of self-consistent scheme at various temperature ranges. For this purpose, isothermal hot compression tests were conducted at temperatures between 650°C ~ 950°C to determine the effect of α/β phase volume fraction on average flow stress under hot-working condition. The flow behavior of α phase was estimated from the compression test results of single-phase α alloy whose chemical composition is close to that of α phase of Ti-6Al-4V alloy. On the other hand, the flow stress of β phase in Ti-6Al-4V was predicted by using self-consistent method. The flow stress of α phase was higher than that of β phase above 750°C, while the β phase revealed higher flow stress than α phase at 650°C. Also, at temperature above 750°C, the predicted strain rate of β phase was higher than that of α phase. It was found that the relative strength between α and β phase significantly varied with temperature.
