布鲁克 电子背散射衍射仪 EBSD eflash FS

Using Bruker’s Hysitron PI 88 SEM PicoIndenter equipped with tilt and rotation stages in conjunction with the QUANTAX EBSD system enables a more robust characterization of metallic materials by combining high resolution phase and grain orientation mapping capabilities with targeted nanomechanical property measurements. This combination could also be used to extend the scope of research related to other advanced textured, anisotropic, or multi-phase materials.

Commercially available high speed steel was analyzed simultaneously using the EBSD and EDS techniques at a very high speed of more than 200 points/s. Thanks to its extremely fast reanalysis option the CrystAlign™ software permits the user to launch measurements without knowing all the phases present in the sample. This in turn significantly reduces the preparation time needed before launching the measurement. Thanks to these new hardware and software developments the SEM occupation time for acquiring a map of 480,000 points was drastically reduced to less than one hour i.e. 38 min for data acquisition, plus maximum 15 min for sample, electron beam, hardware and software setup.
