Abstract:Good sample preparation is essential for acquiring successful electron backscattered diffraction (EBSD) patterns in the SEM. Mechanical polishing to obtain the required surface quality with minimal sub-surface defects and deformation that does not interfere with the quality of the diffraction data is, more often than not, an art form. Special polishing techniques, such as low force lapping fixtures, electrochemical-mechanical polishing, and vibratory polishing, have been used to minimize the sub-surface damage… Show more
