Computed tomography scans of 15 different carbon fiber reinforced polyamide 6 specimens (both original files (16 bit) and files of further cut scans (8 bit))

This dataset of scans was used in a publication that deals with the computational determination of fiber volume contents from µCT scans. Specimens from two carbon fiber reinforced polyamide 6 plaques are used that were produced in the long fiber reinforced thermoplastic direct (LFT-D) process. From the first plaque, three specimens each from both the charge and flow area of the plaque are included with dimensions of 10 mm $\times$ 10 mm $\times$ 3 mm, 20 mm $\times$ 20 mm $\times$ 3 mm and 30 mm $\times$ 30 mm $\times$ 3 mm, respectively. From the second plaque nine specimens were extracted in a regular 3 $\times$ 3 grid all with the dimensions 25 mm $\times$ 25 mm $\times$ 3 mm. Exact cutting plans can be taken from the publication. The specimens are cut out of the plaques through waterjet cutting. The material constituents, with which the final CF-PA6-LFT-D plaques were manufactured, are Zoltek PX35 commercial carbon fibers and a PA6 by the company DOMO. The scans of the first plaque were done with a Zeiss Metrotom 800 (cone-beam) μCT system at wbk Institute of Production Science at KIT with the flat panel detector PaxScan2520V with 1536 pixel $\times$ 1920 pixel. The samples of the second plaque were scanned in an YXLON-CT (Yxlon International CT GmbH, Hattingen, Germany) precision μCT system at Institute for Applied Materials (IAM-WK) at KIT with a μ-focus X-ray transmission tube with tungsten target and a PerkinElmer (Waltham, MA, USA) Y.XRD1620 flat-panel 2048 pixel $\times$ 2048 pixel detector.
