Large-angle CBED (LACBED) combines real space and reciprocal space information. Nevertheless, it is possible to measure the strain by matching a dynamical simulation to the experimental splitting of HOLZ lines. In such cases, it is very difficult to measure the movements of HOLZ lines. As the electron probe is very close to the interface, HOLZ lines often become obscure or even split. Efforts have been made to measure the local lattice strain in the vicinity of the interface, quantitatively by contrast simulation and by detecting the movements of the higher order Laue zone (HOLZ) lines in conventional convergent-beam electron diffraction (CBED). However, differences in thermal more » expansion between the reinforced phase and the matrix, generate residual stresses which may affect the aging characteristics of the matrix and the mechanical properties of such composites. Up to now, the studies on the interfaces have been mainly limited in the interface morphologies, interfacial reaction products and orientation relationship between the reinforcing phase, crystalline reaction products and the matrix. The interfaces in the composites play an important role in the properties of the composite. Among them, metallic composite materials have drawn extensive attention, because they can offer selected physical, chemical and mechanical properties which cannot be obtained with traditional alloys, ceramics or organic matrix composites. Various kinds of composite materials have been extensively studied concerning their manufacture processing and applications in recent years. Also, grain size could be accurately determined but significantly larger analysis areas than those used in this study would be required.

It was concluded that although the resolution of the PED data is better by more than an order of magnitude, data acquisition times may be significantly longer or the number of areas analyzed significantly larger than the SEM-based method to obtain a statistically relevant distribution. Since the grain size of the SiC layer of TRSIO fuel can be as small as 250 nm, depending on the fabrication parameters, and grain boundary fission product precipitates can be nano-sized, the TEM-based PED orientation data collection method is preferred to determine an accurate representation of the relative fractions of low angle, high angle and CSL-related grain boundaries. The fractions of high angle and CSL-related grain boundaries determined by PED are similar to those found using SEM-based EBSD. Analysis of grain boundary character from the TEM-based PED data showed a much lower fraction of low angle grain boundaries compared to SEM-based EBSD data from the SiC layer of the same TRISO-coated particle as well as a SiC layer deposited at a slightly lower temperature. In general, it was determined that the lamella thickness produced using the standard more » FIB fabrication process, is sufficient to provide reliable PED measurements with thicker lamellae (~120 nm) produce higher quality orientation data. Although the ultimate goal is to determine the grain boundary characteristics of fission product containing grain boundaries of neutron irradiated SiC, our work reports the effect of transmission electron microscope (TEM) lamella thickness on quality of data and establishes a baseline comparison on grain boundary characteristics determined previously using a conventional EBSD scanning electron microscope (SEM) based technique.

Precession electron diffraction (PED), a transmission electron microscopy-based technique, has been evaluated for the suitability for evaluating grain boundary character in the SiC layer of tristructural isotropic (TRISO) fuel. The further application of these results to phase mapping will be discussed.

The range of analytical treatments identified two extremes in results: a minimal number of components (patterns) with only kikuchi line positions present or a larger number of components with full intensity information present. = (CaO) sample is particularly notable due to both phases sharing the Fm-3m space group which would confuse most autoindexing routines.
