6 / Data subject
6a / Description of collection – please describe your data, include intellectual theme, subject, topic
Subject: Wootz steel analysis by EBSD.
Topic: EBSD.
Intellectual theme: An electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) study of the microstructure of high carbon ‘Wootz’ steel.
Data description: The objective of the study is to infer an unknown thermomechanical history from observation and analysis of the final microstructure in various ancient artefacts (swords and tools), and then compare the findings with heat treatments of the ancient artefacts and modern attempts at duplication of the structure.
Electron backscatter data reveals the orientation relationships between various phases in the material, particularly cementite and ferrite.
6b / Does the data relate to a specific time period?
if yes please specify / n
6c / Does the data relate to a specific place
if yes please specify. Where possible provide coordinates / n
7 / Research Coding of data
7a / ANZSRCField of Research (FoR) Code:
/ 091299 Materials Engineering
7b / ANZSRC Socio-Economic Objective (SEO) Code: / 970110 Expanding Knowledge in Technology
8 / Origin of data
8a / How is your data collected?Automatically generated by computer, from sensors or instruments, fieldwork, laboratory notes, mathematical models, questionnaires, other? / Automatically generated by an electron backscattered diffraction system attached to a field emission scanning electron microscope.
8b / Was all the data newly created or did you source some from elsewhere?
e.g.used data from Census Collection Districts (CCDs) in Adelaide, Census of Population and Housing CDATA 2001 / Newly created data.
9 / Authorship: who collected or created the data during the project?
