Texture Evolution in Zr‐2.5 Nb Deformed in Uniaxial Compression

Abstract
The evolution of texture in Zr-2.5 Nb during uniaxial compression was studied in annealed specimens with grain sizes of 5 and 10 μm. It is shown that texture development is determined by the mechanism controlling -axis deformation. In fine grained material and slip are found to be responsible for texture evolution. Tensile twinning controls the formation of a sharp [0001] compression texture in coarse grained material. It is suggested that the mode of -axis deformation is determined by the grain size.
