The textures developed in extruded thin-wall zirconium and Zircaloy-2 tubes were studied for materials with two different fabrication histories. The two primary fabrication methods used were extrusion cupping and rolling. In all cases, the textures were similar with the STA10.0! poles parallel to the extrusion direction. The results of burst strength tests, conducted on the extruded thin-wall tubes, and coextrusion experiments were also independent of the primary fabrication history.
