This work is concerned with a new methodology that can be used to quantify the degree to which grains in the microstructure are aligned in the form of packets. The methodology is based on a crystallographic definition of the term packet which is used to deduce the theoretically ideal misorientations of intra-packet grain boundaries. A misorientation distribution obtained from extensive EBSD mapping can thus be split into intra- and inter-packet misorientations and the corresponding fractions can be determined by integration. The theoretical framework of the methodology is explained and a step-by-step description of the procedure is given. Results from a trace analysis are provided to justify the assumptions made regarding habit plane and examples are included showing how the grain boundary network can be split into two separate parts, one for lath boundaries and the other for packet boundaries. Moreover, example weld metal microstructures along with the corresponding misorientation distributions as well as quantitative values of the microstructures are presented.

In current study, microstructural, mechanical and corrosion behaviour were investigated with incorporation of dual reinforced AZ91D surface composites. This research was carried out for enhancement of the bio-degradability in biological environment. The surface composites were successfully fabricated by friction stir processing method with a rotation speed of 800 rpm, travel speed of 80 mm/min and 2.

Electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) has developed over the last few decades into a valuable crystallographic characterisation method for a wide range of sample types. Despite these advances, issues such as the complexity of sample preparation, relatively slow acquisition, and damage in beam-sensitive samples, still limit the quantity and quality of interpretable data that can be obtained. To mitigate these issues, here we propose a method based on the subsampling of probe positions and subsequent reconstruction of an incomplete data set.

In additive manufacturing, the presence of residual stresses in produced parts is a well-recognized phenomenon. These residual stresses not only elevate the risk of crack formation but also impose limitations on in-service performance. Moreover, it can distort printed parts if released, or in the worst case even cause a build to fail due to collision with the powder scraper.

Electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) is a powerful tool for determining the orientations of near-surface grains in engineering materials. However, many ceramics present challenges for routine EBSD data collection and indexing due to small grain sizes, high crack densities, beam and charge sensitivities, low crystal symmetries, and pseudo-symmetric pattern variants. Micro-cracked monoclinic hafnia, tetragonal hafnon, and hafnia/hafnon composites exhibit all such features, and are used in the present work to show the efficacy of a novel workflow based on a direct detecting EBSD sensor and a state-of-the-art pattern indexing approach.

Article Synopsis
- Extrusion welding of AlMgSi(Cu) alloys using porthole dies creates hollow shapes with seam welds, but improper alloy composition or conditions can weaken the weld's strength compared to the base material.
- Predictive modeling of welding conditions based on alloy composition, temperature, and pressures streamlines porthole die design, reducing necessary testing and production costs.
- Laboratory tests on two AlMgSi(Cu) alloy compositions showed that optimal welding at 550°C and 350 MPa resulted in significant weld strength, with the highest relative weld strength recorded at 87% for one alloy.
