Electron Backscatter Diffraction routinely yields large datasets for use in microstructural and microchemical investigations. Lattice distortions can be characterised and used to extract information on geometrically necessary dislocation densities and types. There are several approaches to this and one is the weighted Burgers vector approach. The splinter meeting will allow for discussion of the approach, with hands-on usage of code to show how it works and how it assists in microstructural investigations.
