Mechanisms of <strong>texture</strong> evolution <strong>du</strong>ring annealing of Zr and Ti alloys<br />

Zirconium and Titanium are hexagonal metals. Thus, they have a weaker symmetry than<br />

cubic metals, and a stronger crystalline anisotropy. Despite this strong anisotropy, the<br />

fundamental mechanisms of the <strong>texture</strong> evolution of these metals have not been <strong>de</strong>eply<br />

investigated yet.<br />

We studied here the <strong>texture</strong> and microstructure evolution <strong>du</strong>ring annealing after several<br />

conditions of <strong>de</strong>formation, and showed that :<br />

- slow <strong>texture</strong> change is expected in grain growth after severe rolling, bec<strong>au</strong>se of<br />

oriented growth<br />

- rapid <strong>texture</strong> change after low re<strong>du</strong>ctions is <strong>du</strong>e to oriented nucleation<br />

- transverse rolling gives rise to a correlation between orientation and stored energy in<br />

the <strong>de</strong>formed material, which also in<strong>du</strong>ces fast <strong>texture</strong> changes<br />

These mechanisms have been explained on the basis of microstructure specificities.<br />

In addition, <strong>texture</strong> evolution <strong>du</strong>ring normal grain growth was studied and the use of<br />

mo<strong>de</strong>ling allowed to confirm some hypotheses ma<strong>de</strong> on boundary mobility anisotropy.<br />

The mechanisms of appearance of abnormal grain growth have also been clarified.
