Abstract
The specific features of plastic–strain macrolocalization at the stage of the parabolic law of strain hardening in samples from industrial zirconium–based alloys are considered. It is shown that in predeformed blanks, zones with a different character of plastic–strain localization are formed. It is also shown that the strain–localization macropattern can be used as a characteristic of the susceptibility of a material to further plastic form–changing, for example, upon tube rolling. The sign of fracture of alloys upon plastic deformation is revealed. The scale effect in the formation of localizedplastic–flow zones is shown and studied.
