EBSD point-to-point Misorientation Distribution 3D representation and Effective Grain Size

'misorientation_distribution.m' allows, using EBSD data, an indirect statistical measurement of the Effective Grain Size, concept developed by Abhijit Brahme et al.[1]; that is, the distance between non-adjacent pixels above which their disorientation (also called misorientation) gets random. The average disorientation becomes stabilized at that distance, as one of the graphics shows.

This m-file also plots the misorientation distributions as a function of the distance between EBSD pixels, in both 3D and 2D.

The Effective Grain can be related to the parent grain, in cases where orientation relationships exist within it, if the microstructure has no further texture. Therefore, this method could be an alternative to the classical neighbor-to-neighbor reconstruction. A typical parent grain is the prior austenite grain in martensitic and bainitic steels; the attached .pdf contains an example of outputs from an air-cooled granular bainite.

'misorientation_distribution.m' has been optimized in both memory and time, so that it can be executed in a standard computer in a few minutes.
