Abstract
The twinning characteristics of spark plasma sintered CaTiO3 with orthorhombic perovskite structure is critically analysed using Electron Backscatter Diffraction (EBSD) technique. The twins are characterized by a sub-micron interlamellar spacing with a misorientation of â 90°. The crystallographic relationship between the matrix and the twin has been analysed in terms of misorientation matrix using the Kikuchi patterns obtained from the EBSD scan. From the analysis of angle/axis pairs at the boundary, the twin axis was found to be of type [101]. These twins with high angle boundaries are expected to enhance fracture resistance through crack deflection and crack tip shielding mechanisms.
