Abstract

The use of microtexture investigations by the electron backscattering pattern (EBSP) technique in the SEM for investigations of plastic deformation and recrystallisation is described. The focus is on grain subdivision during deformation and on nucleation and growth during recrystallisation. Specific investigations in which the EBSP technique has been essential to achieve a scientific breakthrough are reviewed. Also the limitations of the EBSP technique are discussed and illustrated by examples of incorrect results which might have been accepted if the EBSP measurements had not been complemented by other methods.
