Texture evolution during annealing of hot extruded U-10wt%Zr alloy by in situ neutron diffraction

abstract

• 2017 Elsevier B.V. Texture evolution during annealing of a U-10wt%Zr alloy hot extruded in the (+) region was studied by in situ neutron diffraction. The extruded alloy had a lamellar (+) microstructure and the initial texture consisted of (100), (110), and the (0001) poles oriented along the extrusion direction. The phase, after the transformation, showed no preferred orientation while the phase, after the transformation, had (110) and (111) poles oriented along the extrusion direction. After a temperature cycle through the phase, there was a complete loss of texture in the phase while the phase retained the initial texture indicating a memory effect.
