[Shellie Nazarenus]

Title:  Trends in EBSD

 

Speaker: Valerie Randle, Materials Research Centre, School of
Engineering, Swansea University, Swansea, UK

 

Date:  Wednesday, November 12, 2008

 

Time:  3:00 pm followed by a reception in atrium with light refreshments

 

Location:  UCI's Calit2 Building Auditorium, first floor off atrium 

 

Abstract:  The main focus of this presentation is to capture emerging
developments in electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD), concentrating
on the last four years or so. The review is addressed from the
perspective of improvements in EBSD technology and the consequent
expansion that this has brought about in applications. The main topics
covered are data collection optimization, interface characterization,
three-dimensional EBSD, multi-phase materials and strain assessment. To
conclude, trends in EBSD usage in terms of material type and application
are examined.

 

About the Speaker:  Professor Valerie Randle has been eminent in the
field of electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) for more than twenty
years. Her other main research interest is grain boundary engineering in
metals and alloys. She has more than 300 scientific publications in
these research topics, including five textbooks. She is a past Welsh
Woman of the Year and recipient of the Institute of Materials' Rosenhain
Medal. Currently, she is Head of the Materials Research Centre at
Swansea University in Wales, UK.

 

Host:  John Porter, Senior Microscopist, Calit2 Zeiss Center of
Excellence 

 

This event is free and open to the public. No reservation required.
