Grain boundaries (GBs) influence a wide array of physical properties in polycrystalline
materials and play an important role in governing microstructural evolution under extreme …

Micrographs of materials contain microstructural information that is quantifiable in principle,
but difficult to extract in practice. We present Automatic QUantitative Analysis of Microscopy …

Mapping grain orientation in crystalline solids is essential to investigate the relationships
between local microstructure and crystallography and interpret materials properties. One of …

In this experimental research, shot peening (SP) and vibro-peening (VP) processes were
employed to modify the surface and sub-surface of a Ni-based superalloy Udimet® 720Li …

Characterizing crystallographic orientation is essential for assessing structure-property
relationships in crystalline solids. While diffraction methods have dominated this field, low …

Directional reflectance microscopy (DRM) is a new optical technique that enables grain
orientation mapping in crystalline solids by capturing and analyzing light reflectance signals …

Orientation affects application-defining properties of crystalline materials. Hence, information
in this regard is highly-prized. We show that electrochemical jet processing (EJP), when …

We introduce the Voronoi fundamental zone (VFZ) framework which is useful for grain
boundary (GB) structure–property models and gaining insights about the nature of a five …

Identifying individual grains from sectioned polycrystalline metals is a foundational task of
microstructure analysis. However, traditional grain segmentation methods applied to optical …

Optical microscopy (OM) is often the first technique used to characterize surfaces of
materials because of its simplicity and low cost. However, the information obtained by OM is …
