Advancing FIB assisted 3D EBSD using a static sample setup
Abstract
A new setup for automatic 3D EBSD data collection in static mode has been developed using a conventional FIB-SEM system. This setup requires no stage or sample movements between the FIB milling and EBSD mapping. Its capabilities were tested experimentally on a coherent twin boundary of an IN-CONEL sample. Our result demonstrates that this static setup holds many advantages in terms of data throughput and quality as compared with other ones requiring stage/sample movements. The most important advantages are the better slice alignment and an improved orientation precision in 3D space, both being prerequisite for a reliable grain boundary characterization.
