Model Zr-Nb Alloy: 2D EBSD Maps of Alpha and Beta Phase Orientations After Hot-Rolling

A set of electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) data files for a model Zircaloy-4 with 7 wt.% Nb addition alloy following hot-rolling. The 2D dataset contains EBSD maps recording microstructure and texture evolution from a beta-processed starting condition, following rolling at 725°C to 50% and 75% reduction, and includes data for annealing at 750°C for 2 hours. The dataset was created by Christopher Stuart Daniel at the University of Manchester and accompanies a 2021 Acta Materialia paper.

Use Cases

• Analyzing crystallographic texture evolution based on EBSD maps mentioned in the description.
• Studying the effects of hot-rolling reduction (50% and 75%) on phase orientation based on the described processing conditions.
• Investigating dynamic annealing effects based on the included data for annealing at 750°C for 2 hours.
• Modeling co-deformation in alpha-beta processed alloys based on the coupled texture evolution described.

Strengths

• Data covers multiple processing stages: beta-processed starting condition, two rolling reductions (50% and 75%), and a subsequent annealing treatment.
• Accompanies a peer-reviewed publication in Acta Materialia (2021), providing context and analysis.
• Includes a specific note clarifying phase labeling in the files, indicating attention to metadata detail.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count and file size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
