3D 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 serial-section&nbsp;electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) data&nbsp;files and a&nbsp;3D reconstruction&nbsp;of&nbsp;a&nbsp;model&nbsp;Zircaloy-4 with 7 wt.% Nb addition&nbsp;alloy following hot-rolling.</p> <p>The 3D data set contains measurements of the material rolled at 725C to 75% reduction. The measurements&nbsp;include&nbsp;indexing of both the alpha and the beta phases in 441 sequential slices, each&nbsp;of 0.1&nbsp;&mu;m, through a small section of the material, taken using the&nbsp;dual beam Thermo Scientific Helios Xe⁺&nbsp;plasma focused ion-beam scanning electron microscope&nbsp;(PFIB-SEM). The 3D EBSD data set includes&nbsp;EBSD measurements&nbsp;in the form of ctf files, binary data files, an Aztec project file,&nbsp;and accompanying&nbsp;images for&nbsp;each slice.</p> <p>A 3D volume was&nbsp;reconstructed from the 3D EBSD data set&nbsp;using a customised&nbsp;pipeline within&nbsp;the DREAM.3D software. The results of this analysis are included in the &#39;dream3d&#39; folder, which&nbsp;includes a description of the pipeline, the final fully reconstructed dream3d data file, an xdmf file used for visualising the data in ParaView, a h5ebsd file containing results for the reconstruction, and&nbsp;grain averaged data for each of the identified features.</p> <p>Please see our accompanying paper for analysis of&nbsp;the 3D reconstruction - as well as analysis of&nbsp;the&nbsp;2D measurements from&nbsp;<a href="https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.3784460">10.5281/zenodo.3784460</a>&nbsp;-&nbsp;and for&nbsp;interpretation&nbsp;of the coupled crystallographic texture evolution;</p> <p>C.S.
