Features of Formation of Crystallographic Texture in Cells of Spacing Grid at their Stamping

The structural and textural heterogeneity of thin-walled tubes of Zr-1% Nb alloy used for stamping of the cells of the spacing grid (SG) was studied. It was found, that structure and texture of thin-walled tubes corresponds to incomplete recrystallization. During the increasing of recrystallization degree, the variation of crystal structure parameters of Nb solid solution i
