Filename: 2019_AlMgCa_10kV_tundish_6.xlsx Short description: The excel file contains the output generated from the inclusion SEM analysis. The same area on the sample was analyzed at 6 serial sections. Tundish sample. C. Filename: Short description: Additional Notes on File Relationships, Context, or Content (for example, if a user wants to reuse and/or cite your data, what information would you want them to know?): Two separate files are included in this dataset. They are a compilation of multiple cross-sectional SEM inclusion analyses of the same area, for 2 samples. Both samples are from the same heat, one from the lade metallurgy furnace (LMF) and the other from the tundish. The SEM analysis was carried out at Carnegie Mellon University using a Thermo Fisher / FEI Aspex Explorer, at 10 kV accelerating voltage. The data is filtered to remove non-inclusions (pores and erroneous readings). For each sample, a specified area was marked and analyzed in the SEM. Then the surface was polished to remove several micrometers and reanalyzed again in the SEM. This process was reiterated to obtain multiple serial sections (i.e. 3D inclusion distribution). Five serial sections were analyzed for the LMF sample, and six for the tundish sample. Inclusions' z coordinate was calculated based on the amount of material removed between sections. # # File Naming Convention: Define your File Naming Convention # (FNC), the framework used for naming your files systematically # to describe what they contain, which could be combined with the # Directory of Files. # File Naming Convention: yearofanalysis_maininclusionsystem_instrumentparameter_typeofsample_numberofserialsections.xlsx # # Data Description: A data description, dictionary, or codebook # defines the variables and abbreviations used in a dataset.
