text: Full-field displacement, elastic strain, and the GND density provide quantifiable information about the material's elastic and plastic behaviour at the microscale. Measuring strain at the microscale requires careful consideration of other key details besides the change in length/shape (e.g., local texture, individual grain orientations). These micro-scale features can be measured using different techniques, e.g., hole drilling, monochromatic or polychromatic energy-dispersive X-ray diffraction or neutron diffraction (ND). EBSD has a high spatial resolution and is relatively sensitive and easy to use compared to other techniques. Strain measurements using EBSD can be performed at a high spatial resolution, allowing researchers to study the local variation in strain within a material. This information can be used to study the deformation and mechanical behaviour of materials, to develop models of material behaviour under different loading conditions, and to optimise the processing and performance of materials. Overall, strain measurement using EBSD is a powerful tool for studying the deformation and mechanical behaviour of materials, and is widely used in materials science and engineering research and development.
