Abstract

This paper presents the characterisation of erosion craters caused by high voltage ignition discharges on the surface of electrodes. By means of FIB/SEM dual beam techniques such as FIB-cross sectioning, FIB-nanotomography and FIB-EBSD, the microstructure modification below the crater surface is investigated, providing new insights into erosion crater phenomena. It demonstrates also that the use of FIB/SEM is ideally suited for assessing the microstructural nature of sub-micron surface degradation features.
