I am researching MAX phases and the effect of ion irradiation in the microstructure of a polygranular bulk Ti3SiC2 sample with a few other phases such as SiC e.t.c.
I was considering EBSD to look at how the grains change size and orientation directly, but I cannot find any literature on EBSD in Ti3SiC2 phases. This surprises me as Ti3SiC2 is one of the more well-researched MAX phases, and I can find papers on EBSD in Ti2AlC. Is there something specific about Ti3SiC2 that makes it incompatible with EBSD, or has it just not been prominently performed?
I think there is nothing against doing EBSD on it, here EBSD was performed on similar phase:

Dear Aimee Coleman as a synthetic inorganic chemist I'm far from being a proven expert in this area. However, please note that potentially useful information on this topic can be found right here on RG. Please have a look e.g. at the following relevant research article about closely related Ti2AlC:
Room temperature stress-strain hysteresis in Ti2AlC revisited
Article Room temperature stress-strain hysteresis in Ti2AlC revisited
This article can be freely downloaded as public full text.
Also please have a look at the following interesting papers:

and
High-throughput reaction engineering to assess the oxidation stability of MAX phases

(see attached pdf files)
I hope this helps. Please stay safe and healthy!
Perhaps i didn't quite understand something about your question, but the basic keywords "EBSD Ti3SiC2" provide me with a wide range of literature sources.
