01 · Questions
What this test can help examine
- Grain size and orientation distribution
- Texture, phases and orientation relationships
- Boundaries, twins and local misorientation
02 · Specimens
Information to prepare
- Crystalline bulk or cross-section specimens
- The surface must be flat, clean and minimally deformed
- Fine mechanical or ion polishing is commonly required
03 · Method
A route matched to the research question
The specimen and target scale determine step size, scan area and output maps; surface quality directly affects indexing and data reliability.
04 · Deliverables
What may be included
- Orientation, phase or boundary maps when scoped
- Statistics and acquisition parameters
- Notes for the agreed analysis scope
05 · FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What should be confirmed before EBSD testing?
Provide the material type, specimen condition, question to be answered and any existing data. An engineer will confirm preparation, test conditions and deliverables.
How are turnaround time and specimen quantity determined?
Turnaround time and specimen quantity depend on specimen condition, test scope and analysis requirements, and are confirmed during technical review.
