Presented by: Shawn Wallace, EBSD Applications Engineer, EDAX
Recent advances in Electron Backscatter Diffraction (EBSD) hardware have gone two ways—speed or performance. Newer CMOS detectors have pushed speeds to unthinkable levels, allowing fine spatial resolution data sets to be taken over large areas. Performance-wise, the advent of using direct electron detection methods as an EBSD sensor has pushed the technique to newer, more beam-sensitive materials. This has allowed mapping to occur with less than 50 photon events per sensor pixel. Correlating either the large area maps collected at high speeds or the smaller more sensitive maps with other techniques can show the power of combining different material characterization methods.
This seminar will focus on showing how combining EBSD with nanoindentation can help reveal crystal orientation influence on the mechanical properties of materials. Additional application data will also show how correlating EDS data with EBSD data can be useful in some cases.
