Advances in 6d diffraction contrast tomography

Résumé

The ability to measure 3D orientation fields and to determine grain boundary character plays a key role in understanding many material science processes, including: crack formation and propagation, grain coarsening, and corrosion processes. X-ray diffraction imaging techniques offer the ability to retrieve such information in a non-destructive manner. Among them, Diffraction Contrast Tomography (DCT) is a monochromatic beam, near-field technique, that uses an extended beam and offers fast mapping of 3D sample volumes. It was previously shown that the six-dimensional extension of DCT can be applied to moderately deformed samples (<= 5% total strain), made from materials that exhibit low levels of elastic deformation of the unit cell (<= 1%). In this article, we improved over the previously proposed 6D-DCT reconstruction method, through the introduction of both a more advanced forward model and reconstruction algorithm. The results obtained with the proposed improvements are compared against the reconstructions previously published in [1], using Electron Backscatter Diffraction (EBSD) measurements as a reference. The result was a noticeably higher quality reconstruction of the grain boundary positions and local orientation fields. The achieved reconstruction quality, together with the low acquisition times, render DCT a valuable tool for the stop-motion study of polycrystalline microstructures, evolving as a function of applied strain or thermal annealing treatments, for selected materials.
