Summary
An analysis of zirconium tensile stress-strain data was made by the Crussard and Jaoul method and an analogous method based on the Swift equation ?p = ?po + c?m. Data from transverse and longitudinal specimens from 4 to 813 K were considered. Also investigated were the effects of a small 77 K prestrain on the 300 K deformation behavior, and the effect of composition on the deformation at an intermediate temperature (?575 K). The two analyses revealed the same basic deformation stages in all specimens. Transverse and longitudinal specimens exhibited, in general, a different pattern of stages. At elevated temperatures (above 550 to 600 K) pure zirconium tends to exhibit single-stage behavior. Specimens in which kinking or twinning are significant factors showed multi-stage behavior. The basic pure zirconium stress-strain curve is one in which the stress-strain curve slope decreases rapidly with increasing stress.
