Dislocation density measurement in cold rolled metals using XRD and TEM
Step 1: Select the preferred Language (English or Hindi) from the language selection option.
Step 2: Switch on the TEM machine and allow the system to initialize.
Step 3: Click on the Remove Sample Holder button to safely remove the sample holder from the machine.
Step 4: Drag and drop the selected sample onto the Sample Holder.
Step 5: Click on the Insert Sample Holder button to reinsert the sample holder into the TEM.
Step 6: Set the Vacuum Level to LV and click Set to apply the configuration.
Step 7: Adjust the Accelerating Voltage within the range of 100 kV to 200 kV, then click Set.
Step 8: Select the Material for analysis.
Step 9: Switch ON the Electron Beam to begin observation.
Step 10: To calculate the Dislocation Density (ρ), enter the following parameters:
- Total Dislocation Length (L) with appropriate units (m / mm / µm / nm)
- Image Area (A) with appropriate units (m² / mm² / µm²)
- Foil Thickness (t) with appropriate units (m / mm / µm)
Step 11: Click on the Dislocation button to calculate and display the Dislocation Density (ρ).
