Non-destructuve 3D microstructure mapping for large samples with complex microstructure

2025

Abstract

Scanning 3D x-ray diffraction is a non-destructive synchrotron technique for mapping the 3D microstructure of polycrystalline materials where a focused hard x-ray beam is scanned across the sample to obtain spatially-resolved microstructure information. We demonstrate a new approach to such an experiment which extends the capabilities of existing techniques to be able to handle more complex and highly deformed microstructures. We demonstrate this by mapping the formation of sub micro meter sized deformation twins in-situ and in the bulk at deformation levels up to 20% in an as-built additively manufactured steel sample.

Simple random sample

In statistics, a simple random sample (or SRS) is a subset of individuals (a sample) chosen from a larger set (a population) in which a subset of individuals are chosen randomly, all with the same probability. It is a process of selecting a sample in a random way. In SRS, each subset of k individuals has the same probability of being chosen for the sample as any other subset of k individuals. A simple random sample is an unbiased sampling technique. Simple random sampling is a basic type of sampling and can be a component of other more complex sampling methods.

Sampling (statistics)

In statistics, quality assurance, and survey methodology, sampling is the selection of a subset or a statistical sample (termed sample for short) of individuals from within a statistical population to estimate characteristics of the whole population. Statisticians attempt to collect samples that are representative of the population. Sampling has lower costs and faster data collection compared to recording data from the entire population, and thus, it can provide insights in cases where it is infeasible to measure an entire population.

Convenience sampling

Convenience sampling (also known as grab sampling, accidental sampling, or opportunity sampling) is a type of non-probability sampling that involves the sample being drawn from that part of the population that is close to hand. This type of sampling is most useful for pilot testing. Convenience sampling is not often recommended for research due to the possibility of sampling error and lack of representation of the population. But it can be handy depending on the situation. In some situations, convenience sampling is the only possible option.
