Microstructure and mechanical performance of cold spray Cr coatings

This dataset includes the data associated with the publication titled "Microstructure and mechanical performance of cold spray Cr coatings", published in Journal of Nuclear Materials (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jnucmat.2024.155492). The zip folder contains the following items: Data for producing the grain size distribution plots. Microhardness data for the reported values. Nanohardness data. SEM images that were analysed to produce the porosity distribution plot. SEM images that were used to quantify the interfacial roughness and thickness variation of the two coatings. XRD data for measuring residual stresses in the coatings. In-situ DIC data to quantify the crack density and average strain in the coatings after in-situ tensile testing. A jupyter lab notebook to analyse and produce the plots that were presented in the publication.
