In this study, its typical coarse-grained dendritic structure is revealed by SIMS ion imaging analyses. With a lateral resolution of ~0.5 µm, the oxygen ion images show the presence of oxide precipitates located at the grain boundaries (with high oxygen content) and in the inter-dendritic zone (with lower oxygen content). Recorded on CAMECA IMS 7f at GEMaC/CNRS-UVSQ, Versailles, France. Image courtesy of F. Jomard. A.-L. Helbert et al.
