EBSD Dataset of the Alpha and Beta Phase Orientations for a Hot-Rolled Zr-2.5Nb Alloy

<p>A set of ex-situ electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) datafiles following rolling of a Zr-2.5Nb alloy at different temperatures (700C, 750C, 775C, 800C, 825C, 850C, 900C) and rolling reductions (50%, 75%, 87.5%). Data for annealing of the material (750C for 2 hours) and following rolling at 800C from a different &lsquo;as-forged&rsquo; starting texture is also included. Note, phases in the ctf files marked as Titanium Cubic refer to measurement of the Zirconium Cubic phase.&nbsp;</p> <p>The data in the &#39;Beta ctf&#39; folder includes a reconstruction of the high temperature beta-phase orientations where&nbsp;possible, reconstructed from the alpha phase orientations using a software based on the Burgers relationship.</p> <p>Please see the accompanying paper for the&nbsp;interpretation of&nbsp;crystallographic texture changes;</p> <p>C.S.
