Methodological aspects of the quantitative texture analysis of HCP Alloy (Ti, Zr) sheet semiproducts

Resumo

The specific features of the existing methods of quantitative texture analysis of semiproducts and products made of titanium and zirconium alloys are analyzed. A technique is proposed to determine the Kearns coefficients (f parameters) for sheets made of hcp-metal-based alloys with allowance for the weighting factor of each reflection in the standard stereographic triangle. The f parameters calculated for sheets made of a zirconium alloy and various titanium alloys using different techniques are compared. The accuracy of measuring the Kearns coefficients by the inverse pole figure method is estimated.
