Analyzing EBSD Data

EBSD Data is stored in the class EBSD and in the latter the class grain holds modelled grains. The following mindmap may induce an general idea analysing EBSD Data with MTEX.

Modelling Grains

Grains are a basic concept for spatially indexed EBSD Data. With grain modelling comes up the possebility getting more information out of EBSD Data - e.g. fabric analysis, characterisation of misorientation

Analyzing EBSD Data

Visualizing EBSD Data is a central to understand a specimen. The most naive way is plotting of the individual orientations as pole point plots or spatially indexed in some map with colorcoded orientations. Moreover one gets with grains the possibility to take a closer look on grain boundaries.

Estimating ODFs from EBSD Data is of interest, furthermore selecting the optimal halfwidth is a difficult question, in particular in matters of grains.
