Texture Formation in α-Zr of Zr-1%Nb Alloy under Radial Forging

Article Preview

Abstract:

Features of the deformation process by cold radial forging of tube billets from Zr-1%Nb alloy were reconstructed on the basis of X-ray texture data. The cold radial forging intensifies grain fragmentation in the bulk of billet and increases significantly the latent hardening of potentially active slip systems, so that operation only of the single slip system becomes possible. As a result, in radially-forged billets unusual deformation and recrystallization textures arise, differing from usual textures of a-Zr by the mutual inversion of crystallographic axes, aligned along the axis of tube.
