3. Conclusion

In a fully automated version (beam or sample stage control, Kikuchi diagram indexing), EBSD is now widely used. Indeed, this technique has proven effective in highlighting relationships between the microstructure and texture of polycrystalline materials. Numerous examples attest to this, whether those presented in [M 4 139] or others that readers can consult in the literature.

As a characterization method at micro-mesoscopic scales, EBSD is a complementary technique to TEM and X-ray and neutron diffraction
