High Resolution EBSD Mapping of Martensitic Steel

Martensitic structures are traditionally challenging to measure with EBSD. Here, the sensitivity and pattern detail provided by Symmetry enables exceptional results from a martensitic stainless steel.

Rapid Characterisation of Steel and Ni

The Symmetry detector is ideal for the routine characterisation of metal samples at speeds up to 3000 pps. Here it is used to characterise a deformed Ni superalloy and a large area across a welded duplex steel.

Symmetry: High Sensitivity for Beam-sensitive Metals

In this application, Symmetry is used to characterise a challenging biomaterial, shell nacre, and its performance is compared to conventional CCD-based detectors.

Transmission Kikuchi Diffraction (TKD) of metals

Successful TKD analyses require an EBSD detector with both high speed and high sensitivity. The suitability of Symmetry for TKD is demonstrated here on both deformed Al alloys and nanocrystalline Ni.
