Abstract

A systematic investigation has been made of the plastic deformation, recrystallization, and grain growth characteristics of swaged crystal bar zirconium. It was observed that zirconium can be cold worked and annealed for fabrication processes without difficulty, but that severe reductions produce a well defined fiber texture which is not removed by recrystallization. Deformation and growth processes affecting the microstructure are discussed in detail. The activation energy for recrystallization was found to vary with the degree of deformation, while a unique activation energy for grain growth was not obtained. Abnormal grain coarsening was observed after annealing severely worked material at 750°C.
