Metadata

These data were collected by Chang-Soo Kim as part of his doctoral dissertation at Carnegie Mellon University. The grain boundary line segment data was obtained by EBSD from a commercial WC/Co sample. The maps were treated to retain only WC-WC grain boundaries. Details of the sample preparation and analysis can be found in the paper cited below. These data are part of the data used for the paper cited below, but the majority of the data was lost before the creation of this archive. The EBSD maps are not available.
