Introduction
FLNP has excellent conditions for the both measurements of the crystallographic textures and residual stresses in the materials by time-of-flight neutron scattering:
SKAT texture diffractometer allows to collect 1368 diffraction spectra and receive experimental pole figures of all the phases in the bulk sample (volume up to 125 cm3) in the regular 5x5° grid. Thus the orientation distribution functions for all the phases may be easily reconstructed with a great angular resolution.
FSD (The Fourier stress diffractometer) has rather high resolution of Δd/d ≈ 4x10-3 and is equipped with
HUBER a 5-axes goniometer, which makes it perfect device for the measurements of the strain tensor.
The combined use of those two instruments makes possible the evaluation of the residual stress tensor in textured materials (Y.D.Wang, et all (ICRS-6), MAUD-program,1999).
Two different cases were studied:
• 1) Textured Zr+1%Nb alloys with texture index F2 ≈ 3-4 and almost isotropic diffraction elastic constants (DEC);
• 2) Polycrystalline graphite with almost random texture and low F2 = 1.19, but with the strongest elastic anisotropy (C1111/C3333 ≈ 29),
Carbon, 2011.
• 3) All other polycrystal materials are between these two!!!

• The grain preferred orientation was measured in cylindrical fuel element plugs made of Zr+1%Nb (E-110 ) alloy. In the sample made by swage machining, a fiber texture with texture index F2 = 3.38 is observed. The fiber axis is collinear with the cylinder axis and with the crystallographic direction normal to the {1-40} plane. The process of annealing changes the crystallographic texture of the material. The fiber texture remains, but texture index changes to 4.04 and the axis of texture tilts and becomes collinear to the direction normal to {321} plane.
• The use of the BulkPathGEO method for the determination of the type I residual stresses in the samples Zr+1%Nb (E-110 ) alloy gave satisfactory results. In the annealed sample the residual stresses are close to zero. In the cold-worked sample stresses are tensile (≈150 MPa) in the radial direction and zero in the axial direction.
• The residual stresses in the studied cold-worked plug seem to originate from the anisotropy of the elasto-plastic transition for grains of different orientation. Annealing leads to the recrystallization processes, which reduce residual stresses in the material. The calculated values of stress tensor components are almost independent on the micromechanical model used and account for the real ODF instead of random ODF.
