Abstract
A comprehensive description of complex material structures may require characterization using different methods and observations across several scales. This work will present a correlative approach including light optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy and electron backscatter diffraction, enabling microstructure quantification which combines microscopic images and electron backscatter diffraction data. The parameters obtained from electron backscatter diffraction such as misorientation parameters or grain and phase boundary data are an ideal source of information, complementing microscopic images. Two case studies performed on bainitic microstructures will be presented to demonstrate practical applications of this approach.
Kurzfassung
Eine vollumfängliche Beschreibung komplexer Werkstoff-Gefüge kann eine Charakterisierung mit verschiedenen Methoden und über mehrere Betrachtungsskalen hinweg erfordern. In dieser Arbeit wird ein korrelativer Ansatz, bestehend aus Lichtmikroskopie, Rasterelektronenmikroskopie und Elektronenrückstreubeugung, vorgestellt, der eine kombinierte Gefüge-Quantifizierung aus den Mikroskop-Aufnahmen sowie den Daten der Elektronenrückstreubeugung ermöglicht. Die aus der Elektronenrückstreu beugung gewonnenen Parameter, z. B. Missorientierungsparameter oder Daten über sowohl Korn- als auch Phasengrenzen, stellen eine ideale, komplementäre Informationsquelle zu den Mikroskop-Aufnahmen dar. Zwei Fallstudien an bainitischen Gefügen stellen die praktischen Anwendungsmöglichkeiten des Ansatzes vor.
