In April I wrote a abstract titled „EBSD/SEM investigation of microstrain fields and microstructures in pure zinc extruded by KoBo method”. The abstract was prepared for workshop „ELECTRON PROBE MICROANALYSIS OF MATERIALS TODAY - PRACTICAL ASPECTS” held by European Microbeam Analysis Society in Padua, Italy in June this year. It is concerning results of research that was conducted on pure zinc extruded by KoBo method at AGH. Microstructure of such material poses some interesting characteristics. Dimensions of equiaxed grains oscillates around 5 um with biggest grains around 10 - 20 um. Areas of highly defected lattice (indicated by low values of image quality factor) stretched along grain boundaries have thickness up to around ~6 um. Relatively high fraction of this defected lattice in relation to non-defected grains interior might be reason for unusual mechanical behaviour of this material.
