Abstract
An overview of electron backscatter diffraction is presented in which experimental procedures are reviewed together with a basic theoretical description of the mechanism of pattern generation. Manual and automated indexing procedures are described. The new technique of orientation imaging microscopy is presented, with examples from recrystallised AI-Mg alloy, deformed superplastic material, and fractured nickel base alloy.
