High-Resolution X-ray computed tomography (XCT) image data set of additively manufactured cobalt chrome samples produced with varying laser powder bed fusion processing parameters

This data contains X-ray computed tomography (XCT) reconstructed slices of additively manufactured cobalt chrome samples produced with varying laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) processing parameters (scan speed and hatch spacing). A constant laser power of 195 W and a layer thickness of 20 µm were used. Unoptimized processing parameters created defects in these parts. The as-built CoCr disks were 40 mm in diameter and 10 mm in height, with no post-processing step (e.g. heat treatment or hot isostatic pressing) used. Five mm diameter cylinders were cored out of each disk, and regions of interests (ROIs) within the cylinders were measured with XCT. The voxel size is approximately 2.5 µm, and approximately 1000 x 1000 x 1000 voxel three-dimensional images were obtained, for an actual volume of about (pi/4) x (2.5 mm)^3 in case of the approximately 2.5 µm voxel data sets. The data set contains two folders ('raw' and 'segmented') with 5 zipped tiff image folders, one for each sample. The images in the 'raw' folder are the original 16-bit XCT reconstructed images. The images in the 'segmented' folder are the segmented images. 'setn' in the file name represents the sample set and 'samplen' represents the sample number. The final trailing -n represents the number of the image in the stack where higher number is toward the top of the sample.
