Abstract
The results of testing of an E110 alloy in a wide range of strain rates are presented. Ring, tubular, and segmental samples made of a fuel element cladding with sizes of O9.1 × 7.73 mm and cylindrical samples made of a bar are tested. The ring, tubular, and segmental samples have the same texture, but they are deformed in different directions. The cylindrical samples have another texture. Hardening curves are experimentally determined for all types of samples. A generalized equation for describing the hardening curves is proposed. Based on an analysis of the experimental data and the equation, it is shown that alloy hardening is isotropic, i.e., independent of texture.
