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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

High temperature deformation properties of Nb–1% Zr alloy were evaluated with a special
emphasis on the texture effect. Fully recrystallized Nb–1% Zr samples with different …

Abstract Duplex microstructure in Zr-Nb alloy possesses excellent mechanical properties.
However, the effect of annealing temperature on the formation of duplex microstructure and …

A three-dimensional elastoplastic phase-field model is developed, using the finite element
method (FEM), for modeling the athermal beta to omega phase transformation in Zr–Nb …

Deformed two-phase Zr–2.5 Nb was subjected to 700° C annealing and associated
coarsening. After primary recrystallization, the second-phase body-centered cubic β was …

In situ neutron diffraction loading experiments were carried out on a cold-rolled dual-phase
(α-phase,∼ 10% β-phase) Zr–2.5% Nb alloy at room temperature. The specimens were cut …

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 …
