Regularities of Changes in Structure and Texture of Low Modulus Alloy Zr-25Nb at Cold Rolling of Monocrystals with Different Orientations
The paper presents the results of studying the regularities of formation of the rolling texture in single crystals of Zr-25%Nb alloy, with different initial orientation relative to the external principal directions in the sheet: normal (ND) and rolling direction (RD). Varying the initial orientation of the single crystal made it possible to reveal stable orientations, among which are textural components {001} <100>, {001} <110>, {111} <110> and {111} <112>. For orientation <111> of single crystal, in the matrix of a quasi-single crystal it was possible to detect a finely dispersed ω-phase, which causes the appearance of an extended halo in the diffraction spectrum. The presence o
Modeling of Crystallographic Texture Formation in Hot-rolled Sheets of Ferritic Steel
It is known that hot rolling of ferritic steel leads to formation of texture inhomogeneous through sheet thickness [1-3]. For analysis of processes, which induce formation of texture inhomogeneity, finite element method simulation of hot rolling was carried out at macro- and mesoscopic levels. Crystallographic texture is a sensitive indicator of plastic deformation process so it is possible to use it to assess the quality of the simulation. Simulated orientation distribution functions are in a good agreement with experimental result in central part of sheet (middle in thickness), but does not substantially correspond with it in outer layer. Reasons of these inconsistencies were analyzed and following were singled out: disconnection of texture with mechanical properties, possible operation of some other mechanism of deformation apart from crystallographic slip
Methods of Research of Shape Memory Effect and Superelasticity in the Alloy Ti-22%Nb-6%Zr
Cyclic tensile tests were carried out as applied to annealed foils of the superelastic Ti-22Nb-6Zr alloy (at.%) as well as indentation of these foils with an increasing amplitude of indenter intrusion in the sample at temperatures lowering from 20∘ down to -60-70∘C. Mechanical tests were performed on samples cut along andacross the rolling direction. According to the results of measurements of mechanical properties, it is established that during cyclic stretching of foils in the rolling direction, superelasticity manifests itself, and also material training is observed with subsequent preservation of the maximal renewable deformation. When the foil is loaded in the transverse direction, no superelasticity is observed, moreover, some samplesare destroyed even with a deformation of 2%. With a decrease in the annealing temperature of foils, the curve of the continuous change of loading with the depth of indenter penetration undergoes substantial changes, which indicate the appearance of a superelastic deformation under the indenter. Curves of monotonic loading and discharge undergo an inflection, and the plastic deformation region is substantially reduced. From the discharge curves in this case, we can calculate two elastic modules, typical for the usual elasticity and superelastic behavior of the alloy. In general, the main characteristics of the continuous indentation curve depend on the amount of the martensitic phase. The dependence of the modules of elasticity for foils, coolingdown to -(60-70∘C), and for their subsequent heating up to the room temperature is constructed
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
Correlation Between the Resistance to Stress Corrosion Cracking of Steel Tubes of Gas Pipelines with Their Layerwise Texture Inhomogeneity
In the present work, the influence of the tubes texture layering on their resistance to stress-corrosion cracking (SCC) is demonstrated by the example of several main gas pipelines (MGP) constructed of X70 steel tubes of different manufactures and operated under various exploitation conditions. X-ray studies of crystallographic texture and structural characteristics were implemented for external and internal layers of various tubes sections, which were cut out from MGP zones with fixed SCC defects and without them. Correlation between the depth of corrosion cracks and the thickness of the surface layer with sharply differing texture parameters is established. The system data analysis also shows that the presence of the texture component {110} <001> in the tubes surface layers can increase their resistance to the SCC.

Structure and Crystallographic Texture Changes of Ferritic Martensitic Steel Resulting from Thermal Creep and Ageing Tests
Thermal ageing (650 and 700∘C during 1000, 7000 or 13300 h) and creep (700∘C, 50 MPa) tests of tubes made from ferritic-martensitic steels EK181 and ChS139 were carried out. With the aid of X-ray techniques the investigation of crystallographic texture and structure condition after tests was conducted. Thermal ageing provides substructure enhancement. With the increase of ageing time one can note the decrease of microhardness and X-ray peaks broadening, which indicates inner elastic microstress relaxation. It was revealed that changes of crystallographic texture in the rupture area of steel ChS139 tube after creep test is similar to those after uniaxial tensile test at room temeprature. This indicates the similarity of the mechanisms ofgrain reorientation for creep and tension. Recrystallization occurs in steel EK181 during creep test at temperature 700∘C leading to formation of recrystallization texture. This results in faster failure of steel EK181 (2486 h before rupture) in comparison with steel ChS139 (3426 h)
