A New Method of Characterising the Misorientation in Low Angle Boundaries in Hexagonal Crystals

  • Published:
Interface Science

Abstract

In this work, methods used to define the misorientation between twograins in a hexagonal crystal are presented. Transformation matricesare generally used to define the misorientation and are found to beconvenient and accurate in most cases. However, in the analysis oflow angle boundaries, it is very difficult to obtain data todetermine the transformation matrix accurately. A new method isdescribed which was developed to overcome this problem and thetechnique is demonstrated using the analysis of a boundary inTi3Al.
