Conclusions

  1. 1.

    Recrystallization of α-zirconium in tubes of Zr-2.5% Nb alloy is associated with reorientation of basal normals; as a result, the rolling texture with a predominant component\(\{ 11\overline 2 0\} \langle 1\overline 1 00\rangle \) becomes a texture with a predominant component (0001)±30–50° R-T\(\langle 21\overline 3 0 - 11\overline 2 0\rangle \).

  2. 2.

    The tendency of grains of α-zirconium to recrystallization associated with the rotation of the crystal lattice about the basal normal depends on the orientation of this normal.

  3. 3.

    We have proposed a model that relates the peculiarities of the development of the recrystallization texture of α-zirconium to the structural anisotropy of the rolled material.
