Fig. 4.. Grain boundary misorientation analysis results of the microstructure annealed at 220 °C for 7 days: (a) ND-IPF map of the sampled area containing both very large and small grains (step size: 2 μm, area: 1600 × 1200 μm2, mean MAD: 0.61°). Blue and white boundaries denote high and low angle boundaries (<15°); (b) selected area from (a) with only small grains; (c) and (d) misorientation axis and angle distributions of grain boundaries of very large and small grains, respectively. The color coding denotes the frequency of plotted misorientation axes in the unit triangles.
