EBSD now routinely provides huge datasets of high quality and precision, and this highlights the need to understand how to analyse these quantitatively. This course will explain relevant methods and demystify the numerous acronyms we encounter.

• Topic 1: Crystal orientation data. How do we display and interpret these, mindful of crystal symmetry?
• Topic 2: Misorientation between measurement points. How do we calculate, display and interpret this information, again mindful of crystal symmetry?
• Topic 3: Intracrystalline distortion characterisation. There are several different ways to undertake this – how do the methods link back to the dislocations and/or elastic strains we aim to understand?
• Topic 4: Grain characterisation. How do we define grains and summarise their microstructural properties in useful ways?
