Figure 3
Bainitic steel (courtesy of P. H. Jouneau). (a) Quality index map. (b) Orientation map of the austenite phase. (c) ARPGE finds six austenitic grains (only the information on the bainitic phase has been taken into account in the reconstruction). The experimental orientations of the bainitic grains inside the reconstructed austenitic grains and the calculated orientations of the austenitic grains are represented by the 〈111〉 directions in the pole figures by blue and red spots, respectively. (d) The experimental orientations of the residual austenite corresponding to the six reconstructed grains are reported and the calculated orientations are superimposed with red circles. One may check the perfect agreement between the calculated and the experimental orientations of the austenitic grains. The other spots come from twinned austenite (blue arrows) and some bainitic grains misindexed as austenite.
