Rolling and annealing textures of zirconium samples at several rolling rates were studied by tracing diagrams of pole figures vs. the position in the sheet thickness with an automatic recorder. Tensile tests, hardness measurements, and micrographic examinations allowed a study of the evolution of the recrystallization and the variation of the mechanical properties after rolling and/or annealing. Annealing textures varied slightly with the annealing temperature. Annealing at 5O0 deg C gave several peculiarities. This temperature seemed characteristic in the study of zirconium. (auth)
