Zr-2.5Nb pressure tubes are used as primary pressure boundary material in Indian Pressurized Heavy Water Reactors (PHWRs). Due to presence of strong tangential basal pole texture in the HCP α-phase of Zr-2.5Nb alloy, the mechanical properties of the pressure tube are different along axial and circumferential directions. As pressure tubes see higher hoop stress, most of the fracture studies have been carried out on pressure tubes having axial notch or crack orientation. However, in practice, flaws may be present in material in any orientation. Hence, fracture studies have been carried out on textured Zr-2.5Nb pressure tube to evaluate its fracture properties along axial and transverse directions. Single specimen J-test with Direct Current Potential Drop (DCPD) system was carried out from room temperature to 300 ^oC using Disc compact tension (DCT) specimens. This paper compares the fracture toughness values in these two different directions of textured Zr-2.5Nb pressure tube.
