Map showing crystallographic orientation

Caption

A map showing crystallographic orientation of a region that originally contained a void, which was then subjected to a second shock loading (the shock wave passed from the bottom to the top of the image). The void has been recompacted with enough energy to not only reach a fully dense state, but drive recrystallization at the interface, as demonstrated by the thin band of very small grains.
