Figure 9
(a) IPF map of a nitrided iron whisker. The α–γ′ interface is marked with a blue line, if the deviation from the PTMC OR is ≤2°. The lines mark the positions and the directions of the (b) point-to-origin misorientation profiles in the γ′ (red and blue) or α (magenta and cyan) phase (measurement direction: downwards). (c) SEM micrograph of (a). The green rectangle marks the enlarged area [(d), SEM forward scatter detector micrograph] of the low-angle grain boundary between two PTMC variants. (e) Superposition of the {100}γ′ pole figure of the area marked by the black dashed line in (c) with the stereographic projection of the {100}γ′ poles of the corresponding variants. For a better overview the α-Fe orientation, and accordingly the orientation of the γ′ variants, was rotated into standard orientation with respect to α. |
