Electron Backscatter Diffraction (EBSD) is a powerful characterization tool that is commonly employed to study grain size, grain morphology, crystallographic texture and other important microstructure parameters. However, its relatively low atomic number and propensity to corrode can make it difficult to get high quality EBSD patterns from magnesium specimens. This work will cover some common issues encountered during sample prep and suggestions for avoiding them. Microscope and EBSD detector settings will also be covered, as well as methods for optimizing instrument time. Lastly, comments will be made on how to “clean” and present EBSD data.
