Abstract
The present work has as its main theme the RF Backscattered electron diffraction technique
("Electron Back Scatter Diffraction", EBSD) and is composed of six main items. In the first, after
a brief introduction on the microstructure of materials, seeks to situate the EBSD technique in
the context of the microstructure analysis techniques. Soon after, the second item is already
done a brief history, which goes from the discovery of the Kikuchi lines in 1928 until the
improvement and use of EBSD in conjunction with the scanning electron microscope (SEM) in
the 1980. Already on the third item will be discussed the principles of functioning of EBSD
technique\/MEV. The following aspects will be covered in this item as: electron beam
interaction with the sample, the KiKuchi lines and the formation of diffraction, the detection
system and analysis and sample preparation. The fourth item will be discussed the
potentialities and limitations. The fifth item are presented the main applications and in the
sixth and last item are made some concluding remarks.
