Introduction
Analysis of the core content of the standard
This standard is equivalent to ISO 13067:2011, which specifies the method for determining the average grain size of a polished section using an electron backscatter diffraction system. The main technical breakthroughs include:
1. The first clear definition of the EBSD grain size measurement terminology system- Establish 23 professional terms such as step size, pixel, and orientation difference angle
- Distinguish between grain boundaries (>5° orientation difference) and subgrain boundaries (1-5° orientation difference)
Comparison of key technical requirements
| Parameters | Traditional metallographic method | EBSD method | Advantages |
|---|---|---|---|
| Spatial resolution | ≥0.5μm | ≥0.05μm | Increase by 10 times |
| Orientation analysis | Not quantifiable | 0.5° orientation difference can be measured | Complete crystallographic information |
| Applicable materials | Mainly single-phase | Multiphase composite materials | Expanded application range |
Detailed explanation of operation specifications
Sample preparation requirements:High-quality Kikuchi diffraction patterns need to be obtained. Recommendations:
- Mechanical polishing followed by electrolytic polishing to remove the deformation layer
- Samples with poor conductivity need to be coated with ≤10nm carbon film
- Avoid grain boundary over-corrosion (calibration rate should be >95%)
Step size selection formula: Dstep ≤ 0.1×Davg (Davg is the estimated average grain size)
Minimum statistics: ≥500 grains (uncertainty <10% at 95% confidence level)
Technology Evolution Analysis
This standard marks an important breakthrough in materials characterization technology:
- 1990s: EBSD technology laboratory stage
- 2011: ISO releases the first EBSD grain size standard
- 2020: China adopts the standard and adds a dual-phase material measurement guide
Typical application cases
The test of a nickel-based high-temperature alloy showed that the grain size measured by the traditional method was 15.2±2.1μm, while that measured by the EBSD method was 14.8±0.9μm, and the data dispersion was reduced by 57%.
Implementation recommendations
- Deformed materials require Kuwahara filtering
- It is recommended to use a hexagonal scanning grid (12% more accurate than a square grid)
- The report should include a comparison of the original data with the processed data
Uncertainty control
Main sources of error:
- Sample tilt angle error 1° → step size error 5%
- Data cleaning results in dimensional deviation ≤6%
- It is recommended to regularly calibrate the SEM magnification (according to ISO 16700)
