The authors wish to thank The Alcoa Technical Research Center for supplying the specimens and performing the compression tests. This work was supported primarily by the MRSEC program of the National Science Foundation under DMR-0079996. Application of electron backscattering diffraction methods to recover estimates of the geometrically necessary dislocation density is described. The limitations of the method arising from the opacity of crystalline materials and the spatial and angular resolution limits are discussed.
