The efficiency of different techniques application for the investigation of orientation inhomogeneities in polycrystalline materials was studied using FEG SEM-FIB dual beam station equipped with EBSD. It is shown that for the visualization of pearlitic ferrite fragments it is more appropriate to acquire the images in secondary electrons induced by Ga ions. At the same time for the visualization of nano-sized particles it is more prospective to use images in forward scatter electrons in combination with IQ maps. It is established that pearlitic ferrite fragments are not flat. Complicated spatial configuration of orientation inhomogeneities in pearlitic ferrite is shown by means of 3-d reconstruction. The features of ferrites aggregation are revealed depending on pearlitic ferrite fragmentation criterion. The existence of long-range misorientations in the aggregation area of proeutectoid and pearlitic ferrites is shown.
