Computational techniques for grain-orientation determinations using surface traces of crystal planes of any indices

Abstract

An analysis is given which permits a computer program to be written for the determination of the orientation of a grain of cubic lattice from measured directions on its surface of traces of crystallographic planes of any known indices. An application of the analysis to grain orientation with {1 1 2} traces is given as an illustration, showing how such complex determinations are made feasible and easy with computers. © 1987 Chapman and Hall Ltd.
