Sintered BaTiO 3 , SrTiO 3 , and Pb(Zr x Ti 1− x )O 3 ceramics were examined using orientation imaging microscopy (OIM TM ), which is a system for the automated measurement of grain orientations by evaluating electron backscatter diffraction patterns in scanning electron microscopy. As expected for sintered materials, none of the three materials exhibited a pronounced texture. However, analysis of the orientation relationships (ORs) between adjacent grains revealed a statistically significant preference of Σ= 3 ORs. Accordingly, the boundaries between grains with a Σ= 3 OR were particularly important for the macroscopic properties of the materials in question.
