I am using EBSD analysis to observe the texture in the materials after friction stir processing but Pole figures shows random texture. How we can rotate the pole figure in OIM software to match it with the ideal texture components??
If it is showing random texture (intensity ~ 1) then it will remain random in all direction. Rotation need to be performed logically. You can rotate the data using TSL-OIM software/Aztec Crystal/MTEX. MTEX is the only free option available. The command is
% Say you want to rotate 90 degree about x-axis rot = rotation.byAxisAngle(xvector,90*degree);
pf_rotated = rotate(pf,rot); plot(pf_rotated,'antipodal')
recalculate the odf based on pf_rotated.
In data tree on the dataset do right-click and rotate data. In the pop up window do rotate by pole figure like in attached image.
Which type of raw data do you import? Sometimes OIM has a problem with texture plot based on ctf files. Fast projection plot is correct while calculated pole figures look like random waves.
