This work investigates the role of grain size and recrystallization texture in corrosion behavior pure iron 0.1 M sulfuric acid solution. Annealing heat treatment was applied to obtain samples with different average sizes (26, 53 87 µm). Optical microscopy, X-ray diffraction electron backscatter techniques were used characterize microstructure. The EBSD data analysis showed ferrite phase no inc...

The structure evolution characteristics of NdF3 thin films has been analysed concerning texture and grain morphology. The structure could be classified according to the structure zone models, and the growth mode could be related to zone T and zone II. Contamination of the films by residual gases was found to inhibit the migration of grain boundaries and therefore, zone II does not appear even a...

Together maize, Sorghum, rice, and wheat grass (Poaceae) species are the most important cereal crops in the world and exhibit different "grain endosperm texture." This trait has been studied extensively in wheat because of its pivotal role in determining quality of products obtained from wheat grain. Grain softness protein-1 and Puroindolines A and B (grain storage proteins), encoded by Ha-like...

ArcelorMittal Frýdek-Místek, Frýdek-Místek, Czech Republic The final Goss texture in grain-oriented electrical steels (GOES) is affected by microstructure evolution and inheritance during the whole production process. This paper presents the results of detailed...

The evolution of texture as a function of recrystallization has been characterized for hotrolled AA1050. Samples prepared from hot rolled sheet were annealed isothermally for sufficient time to allow complete recrystallization. The microstructural variation and texture evolution in the samples was observed by automatic indexing of Electron Back Scatter Diffraction (EBSD) patterns in a Scanning ...

Our goal is to develop novel growth approaches for producing low cost solar cells that have efficiency comparable to those made from high-cost, single-crystalline materials. Our efforts to date focus on using ion beam assisted deposition (IBAD) to control the grain boundary alignment in polycrystalline silicon thin films. The boundaries between highly aligned grains have smaller defect densitie...
