Figure 3. Pole figures showing the orientation of the phases in the tilt-series.

(a,b) show pole-figures representing the {111} zone axes of the γ-matrix and the [0001] zone axis of the η-phase, respectively. The orientation at each step of the tilt series is plotted from red (+70°) to blue (−60°), with the tilt axis running approximately SW to NE. The orientation relationship between these phases can be gauged from the matching poles. (c,d) show the {100} pole figures for the matrix and the metal carbide, respectively.
