The present contribution analyses the precision of EBSD elastic strain measurement based on cross-correlation or phase-only correlation of regions of interest distributed over experimental patterns [1]. By means of correlation peak fitting and least-squares minimisation the procedure allows to obtain the eight independent components of the displacement gradient tensor with an average standard deviation of 1.2*10−4 under best conditions. It is shown that the cross-correlation version provides a better angular resolution compared to its phase-only counterpart. Moreover, optimum parameters such as Fourier filter widths and fit region sizes are determined as a function of the pattern signal-to-noise ratio. The achievable precision is also evaluated for specimen rotation and bending experiments. Finally, the application of the strain measurement method to diffusive-displacive phase transformations is discussed [2].
