Electron backscatter diffraction data and backscatter electron images from four conditions from a cold-rolled and annealed Al-Mn alloy

Raw electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) datasets and backscatter electron (BSE) images acquired from four conditions from a cold-rolled and non-isothermally annealed Al-Mn alloy: as deformed, 175 C, 300 C and 325 C. The heating rate is 50 C/h. The material is recovered after 300 C and partly recrystallized after 325 C.

The data forms part of the supplementary material to the paper "Orientation dependent pinning of (sub)grains by dispersoids during recovery and recrystallization in an Al-Mn alloy" (2023) published in Acta Materialia (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.actamat.2023.118761).

The data was acquired in order to study the effect of particles on recovery and recrystallization in the Al-Mn alloy. The particles detected in the BSE images were inserted in the EBSD map after the EBSD map had been corrected for distortions by image registration using the BSE images.
