4D Characterization of Metal Microstructures

Three‐dimensional x‐ray diffraction (3DXRD) offers the possibility of time‐resolved mapping of metal microstructures down to the submicrometer scale that is, four‐dimensional (4D–x, y, z, t) studies. In this chapter, the background and the principles of the 3DXRD microscope are introduced and variou...

Summary:Three‐dimensional x‐ray diffraction (3DXRD) offers the possibility of time‐resolved mapping of metal microstructures down to the submicrometer scale that is, four‐dimensional (4D–x, y, z, t) studies. In this chapter, the background and the principles of the 3DXRD microscope are introduced and various examples of its applications relating to plastic deformation, recrystallization, grain growth, and phase transformations are presented with major focus on recrystallization. Finally, a general discussion of challenges and suggestions for the future success of 3D and 4D experimental methods in general are given.
