Abstract Scope |
Understanding deformation mechanisms of metals and alloys at meso- and nano- scales is necessary for developing predictive models that estimates service life of engineering components. In this study, three-dimensional synchrotron X-ray diffraction (3D-XRD) technique is used to measure the center-of-mass (COM), orientation, volume and elastic strain of individual grains in a pure zirconium specimen. In addition, electron backscatter diffraction technique is used to measure the orientations and morphologies of the grains located at the surface of the same specimen. Indexed grains from both techniques are compared. This is followed by using the weighted Voronoi method to simulate grain morphologies from the 3D-XRD data. The simulated grain map is compared to the one measured by EBSD. It is shown that more than 80 percent of the grain neighbors are correctly matched between the two techniques. |
