RAW SEM images mosaics dataset for the HRDIC strain localization study in shot peened Ni superalloy

We used a FEI Magellan HR 400L FE-SEM with a theoretical resolution of ≤ 0.9 nm at <1kV and ≤ 0.8 nm at ≥ 5kV to take backscattered electron images of the fine, homogeneous distributed gold speckle pattern obtained by remodelling of a thin gold layer previously deposited on the polished sample surface. The images were obtained at a working distance of 3.5 mm, 5 kV and 0.8 nA beam current. Mosaics of 30x15 images were used to cover 950x420 µm². Each image contains 2048 x 1768 pixels and has a horizontal field of view of 43 µm. The images were overlapped by 20% to enable easy stitching prior to the digital image correlation. We obtained 7 mosaics, one before tensile testing and 6 after each deformation step. This set of images at different strain steps is coupled with the EBSD data set in https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.4730184, the HRDIC strain maps in http://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.4728016 and data visualisation scripts in http://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.4727939 0_def corresponds to the undeformed sample, while 1_def to 6_def were obtained after each deformation step.
