Abstract

An X-ray method was developed to determine the dislocation density in metal materials as a distribution depending on the orientation of Burgers vector. The method includes registration of X-ray line profiles by each successive position of the sample in the course of diffractometric texture measurement using reflections of two orders, the following determination of coherent domain size and lattice distortion by means of the Warren-Averbach method for each orientation of reflecting planes, separate calculation of the density of c- and a-dislocations with all possible orientations of Burgers vector and presentation of results in the generalized pole figures. The method was used to determine the dislocation density in tubes of Zr-based alloys for nuclear industry. Obtained data show, that the dislocation density varies within very wide interval of several orders of magnitude depending on the grain orientation both in as-rolled and annealed tubes. Features of the dislocation distribution in tubes are closely related to their crystallographic texture.
