2D EBSD Dataset of the Alpha and Beta Phase Orientations for a Hot-Rolled Model Zircaloy-4 with 7 wt.% Nb Alloy

<p>A set of&nbsp;electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) data&nbsp;files for a&nbsp;model&nbsp;Zircaloy-4 with 7 wt.% Nb addition&nbsp;alloy following hot-rolling.&nbsp;</p> <p>The 2D data set contains&nbsp;EBSD maps recording&nbsp;the microstructure and texture evolution, from a beta-processed (and annealed) starting condition, following&nbsp;rolling&nbsp;at a temperature of&nbsp;725C to&nbsp;50% and&nbsp;75% reduction. Data for annealing of the rolled&nbsp;materials (750C for 2 hours)&nbsp;is also included.&nbsp;<em>Note, phases in the ctf files marked as &#39;Titanium Cubic&#39; refer to measurement of the &#39;Zirconium Cubic&#39; phase.</em></p> <p>Please see our accompanying paper for analysis of&nbsp;the 2D measurements - as well as analysis of a&nbsp;3D reconstruction from&nbsp;<a href="https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.3785084">10.5281/zenodo.3785084</a>&nbsp;-&nbsp;and for&nbsp;interpretation&nbsp;of the coupled crystallographic texture evolution;</p> <p>C.S.
