Microstructural orientation mapping with a neutron beam

DOI

We propose to develop the means to measure the orientations, phases and strains of individual crystal grains within a polycrystal using neutrons. Such measurements have traditionally been made using EBSD and more recently with synchrotron X-rays, but neutron diffraction would offer strong advantages in terms of the sample geometries that could be studied, the feasibility of any kind of in-situ testing, or contrast between certain industrially relevant constituents (e.g. dissolved hydrogen, element segregation). While neutron beams and detectors are generally less suitable than some synchotron beamlines for this type of work, encouraging results have recently been obtained on the ENGIN-X beamline with Anton Tremsin's Medipix-based detector that justify pursuing this approach further.
