Zirconium alloys are widely used as fuel cladding and structural materials for nuclear reactors due to the low neutron absorption cross-section, good corrosion resistance and acceptable mechanical properties. These properties are greatly dependent on microstructural and textural features, such as grain morphology, grain size, crystallographic texture and distribution of precipitates. It is necessary to understand microstructure and texture evolution during fabrication in order to optimize the manufacturing process and to improve the service performance. In this work, microstructure and texture evolution during fabrication of Zr-Sn-Nb new zirconium alloy sheets are investigated using XRD, SEM-ECC, TEM and EBSD. The results show that the random texture formed by β quenching transforms into tilt basal texture after hot rolling. The basal texture keeps stable during the following
