Royce Training: Advanced EBSD Characterisation of Alloys

Overview

This course will provide an introduction to advanced electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) technique in alloy imaging and characterisation.

It will also provide an overview of the state-of-the-art facilities hosted by Royce at The University of Manchester, and other kit located with Royce partners. Routes to accessing Royce EBSD facilities will also be highlighted.

Outcomes for Attendees:

• An increased appreciation of how EBSD (and associated state-of-the-art techniques) work, and how they can be applied to study alloys.
• Experience using software to interrogate advanced EBSD datasets.
• Opportunity for community building interactions, including troubleshooting and tips.

Tickets will be on sale for £25. 

Audience

Any researcher or industrialist looking to perform advanced EBSD analysis on alloys. Some familiarity with the technique and running EBSD experiments is desirable (it’s not meant as a basic introduction).

Aims

• An increased appreciation of how EBSD (and associated state-of-the-art techniques) work, and how they can be applied to study alloys.
• Experience using software to interrogate advanced EBSD datasets.
• Opportunity for community building interactions, including troubleshooting and tips.

The focus will be on Oxford Instruments / Aztec capability.
