We investigate the temperature and rate dependence of slip, twinning, and secondary
twinning in high-purity hexagonal close packed α-Zr over a wide range of temperatures and …

In this letter, we reveal anomalous basal slip activity in zirconium under high strains. The
frequently reported classical rolling texture of Zr is shown to develop as a result of …

The effect of grain size and deformation temperature on the behavior of wire-drawn α-Ti
during compression has been examined. At strains of 0.3, the flow stress exhibited a …

The aim of this paper is to contribute to the characterization and modelling of the plastic
behaviour of thin sheets of commercial purity (CP) α-Ti. Several loading conditions are …

Plasticity in hexagonal close-packed zirconium is controlled by screw dislocations which
easily glide in the prismatic planes where they are dissociated. At high enough …

Zircaloy-4 is usually used as cladding tubes and structure components in nuclear reactor.
Cladding tubes are manufactured mainly by hot extrusion and subsequent cold pilgering …

Texture development in zirconium reactor components greatly affects their in-service
performance, in particular influencing dimensional stability, hydride induced cracking and …

Three polycrystalline samples of Zr702α are deformed at room temperature under channel
die compression until about 40% strain. Samples are oriented differently in the die with …

Deformation mechanisms are determined in five zirconium polycrystalline samples
deformed by channel die compression at room temperature (T1–T5 textures). Slip systems …

The evolution of microstructure and texture of an α-Zr alloy during thermomechanical
processing was investigated, starting from the β-quenched microstructure. The material was …
