A series of in situ compression tests have been carried out at room temperature on three
dual-phase Zr–2.5 wt% Nb alloys with different concentrations of the interstitial alloying …

A series of in situ compression tests has been carried out at room temperature for three dual-
phase Zr–Nb alloys with different Nb contents. Changes in the Nb content change the …

The deformation mechanisms were studied in metastable Zr-13.8 Nb-0.7 Hf and Zr-15.5 Nb-
0.7 Hf (wt.%) alloys exhibiting complex microstructures due to quenched-in precipitates …

This work demonstrates and explains how, during the hot deformation of a Zr alloy in the two-
phase field, the texture developed in the α phase is influenced by that developed in the β …

The present study investigated the microstructural evolution in α+ β Zr regime of Zr-2.5 wt%
Nb (a dual phase alloy with α (hcp) and β (bcc)) as a function of heat treatment temperature …

In this study, Sn-free Zr–1.5 Nb–O–P alloys were manufactured and their mechanical
properties were characterized. The ultimate tensile strength (UTS) of cold rolled Zr–1.5 Nb …

Zr–1Nb alloy uniaxially compressed at room temperature at 10− 2 and 10 3 s− 1 exhibited
twinning and a three-stage strain-hardening behavior. At 10 3 s− 1 the twin fraction initially …

Tensile properties and plastic deformation modes of β zirconium-niobium alloys were
investigated at 290 and 77 K in the wide composition range from metastable to stable β …

The microstructural evolution and mechanical properties of a duplex Zr-2.5 Nb alloy
annealed at different temperatures have been studied in detail. The results show that after …

Two types, A and B, of Zr–2.5 Nb samples were subjected to compression tests. Both
samples consisted of similar microstructure–hexagonal closed packed (hcp) α phase (the …
