In many materials systems, particularly in metals and in alloy systems, several different phases can be present. This is especially true for engineering materials, such as steels and superalloys, wherein we obtain the desired properties from the presence, the distribution, and the specific relative orientations of the various second phases. Although we can identify the structure of phases through single-crystal diffraction patterns (eg, via CBED or microdiffraction), the OR relating the phases can also provide very useful information. For example we can carry out phase identification and discern the distribution of phases within the microstructure, as well as the sequence of formation.You saw in Chap. 18 of W&C that the ORs between phases (particularly between a parent/matrix and a second phase/transformation product) are frequently the way that we can gain evidence to support phase identification and to understand the mechanisms of phase formation. When we characterize materials it is often important for us not only to identify constituent phases, but also to assess the size and distribution of the phases. When the phases of interest exhibit ORs with either the matrix or parent phase, we can easily form diffraction-contrast images of all (or most) of the second phases (or precipitates) that share the common orientation.
