Description
Based on SEM, Bruker's QUANTAX EBSD measures the local crystal orientation with sub-micron spatial resolution. It can be used for phase distribution analysis which reveals presence of hard and brittle inter-metallic phases sigma and chi. It can also be used for orientation distribution mapping which allows visualization of the strain accumulated at the boundary between the ferrite and sigma phase grain. The system can also be used in conjunction with the QUANTAX EDS system creating the most advanced integrated EBSD/EDS system, supported by the ESPRIT 2 software under a single user interface.
