tron diffraction pattern stems from a significantly smaller volume than in the SEM. Additionally, dislocations are visible with the TEM and so localization of subgrains or cell structures is much easier.A TEM image of c-fibre orientations is shown in Figure 7. Subgrain structures are visible here too. However, in this case, the subgrains have a longitudinal shape and are separated by much sharper boundaries. The misorientations between neighboring subgrains are significantly higher as compared to the a-fibre structures. Values of about 1.5±6 were found. Obviously these structures can be resolved by the EBSD system because they show sharper boundaries and higher misorientations than a-fibre subgrains.This comparison of EBSD results with TEM observations shows that not all subgrain structures are clearly resolved by the EBSD system. In this context, it is very useful to take additional information into account. For example, images provided by a backscatter detector often show cell structures at places where an orientation map only shows continuous orientation gradients. This indicates that using both methods (EBSD + SEM with strong orientation contrast) in combination can prevent misinterpretation of EBSD data.The recrystallization behavior of laboratory-processed AISI409 ferritic stainless steel sheet has been studied with a focus on texture inhomogeneity and ªsluggishº recrystallization kinetics. This communication focuses primarily on observations made by electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) in the scanning electron microscope (SEM). Pronounced texture gradients were observed in some grain orientations and correlated with the deformation-induced substructure. The strong pinning of some boundaries has been linked, not only to textural effects, but also to the precipitation of fine titanium carbonitrides.Tailoring the physical and mechanical properties of steels through careful engineering of microstructure and texture has been responsible for many of the recent developments in light-weight, high-strength, and highly formable alloys. Demands for further improvements in material properties require ever more sophisticated descriptions of microstructure evolution under complex processing paths. Widespread availability of new techniques, such as EBSD, are now being used to provide a fully quantitative link between microstructure, texture, and mechanical properties. Of the many properties that must be controlled via processing, optimization of formability continues to be a priority for ferritic steel producers. Control of plastic anisotropy via the bulk texture of the final product is crucial in this regard and consequently has been heavily studied, particularly for carbon steels.

HAL is a multi-disciplinary open access archive for the deposit and dissemination of scientific research documents, whether they are published or not. The documents may come from teaching and research institutions in France or abroad, or from public or private research centers. L'archive ouverte pluridisciplinaire HAL, est destinée au dépôt et à la diffusion de documents scientifiques de niveau recherche, publiés ou non, émanant des établissements d'enseignement et de recherche français ou étrangers, des laboratoires publics ou privés.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
