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 …

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 role of grain size in tensile behavior in a metastable β Ti-20V-2Nb-2Zr mass% alloy was
investigated.{332}< 113> mechanical twins are activated at high Schmid factors during …

In this study, we investigated the morphology evolution of deformation-induced α', α
″martensite and retained β phase with increasing deformation strain in metastable β-Zr …

A superelastic metastable β Ti-24Nb-4Zr-8Sn (wt.%) alloy is analyzed in the solution treated
state after different applied strains in order to reveal evolution of microstructures and explore …

To further improve the service performance of Zr-2.5 Nb alloy worked as pressure tubes in
pressurized heavy water reactors, more investigation about the microstructure and …

Zr is a hexagonal close packed metal which shows great anisotropy during deformation. To
reveal the effect of initial orientations on deformation behaviors of Zr alloys at elevated …

Uniaxial thermal compression tests at 1023 K were conducted on β-quenched Zr-4 alloy to
engineering strains of 0.05, 0.1, 0.2 and 0.3 in this paper. Electron backscatter diffraction …
