The distributions of general and coincidence site lattice (CSL) grain boundaries (GBs) in texture-free alumina and zirconia ceramics sintered at two different temperatures were investigated based on electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) measurements. Results were compared with the distributions obtained from random 2D spatial models and with calculated random distributions reported in the literature. All alumina samples independent on sintering temperature show the same characteristic deviations of the measured general GB distributions from the random model. No such features can be seen in zirconia. The total fractions of CSL GBs in alumina and zirconia samples are clearly larger, for both sintering temperatures, than those observed in the random simulations. A general GB prominence factor, similar to the twin prominence factor for fcc metals, was defined to simplify the representation of the CSL GB content in zirconia. The observed deviations from the random model show no dependence on sintering temperature nor on lattice geometry. In alumina, however, the change in the CSL GB character distribution with sintering temperature seems to be crystallographically controlled, i.e. directly dependent on the orientation of the CSL misorientation axis.

The mylonitic marbles of the Cherneca shear zone, a Variscan sinistral strike-slip structure developed in the Ossa-Morena Zone (SW Iberia) related to the emplacement of the Santa Olalla Igneous Complex, were studied in detaiL Different mylonites (from protomylonites to ultramy lonites) were analyzed by Electron Back-Scattering Diffraction (EBSD) in order to determine the crystallographic preferred orientation (CPO) of calcite, The CPOs show very good agreement with experimental torsion work giving suitable interpretations of the operative slip systems and strain quantifications, thus the obtained natural CPOs validate the experimental approaches, A wide range of observed textures and microstruc tures are mainly controlled by the amount of shear strain, the presence of secondary phases, and the development of antithetic subsidiary shears, The effect of secondary phases and the nucleation of antithetic shear bands on texture development are discussed,
