A multivariate grain size and orientation distribution function: Derivation from electron backscatter diffraction data and applications

Two of the microstructural parameters most influential in the properties of polycrystalline materials are grain size and crystallographic texture. Although both properties have been extensively studied and there are a wide range of analysis tools available, they are generally considered independently, without taking into account the possible...

Use of local electrochemical methods (SECM, EC-STM) and AFM to differentiate microstructural effects (EBSD) on very pure copper

When aiming for an increased and more sustainable use of metals a thorough knowledge of the corrosion phenomenon as function of the local metal microstructure is of crucial importance. In this work, we summarize the information presented in our previous publications[1-3] and present an overview of the different local (electrochemical) techniques...
