The present invention relates to a method for producing tubing products from binary and multicomponent zircon alloys, consisting in obtaining from an ingot previously submitted to a beta distortion process p source preparation, hot forming said source preparation at the subsistence temperature of zirconium alpha&plus;beta to get a tubular blank hardenning the latter at a temperature higher by 30 to 60&deg; to the temperature at which the alloy passes from an intermediary state zirconium alpha&plus;beta to the beta state of zirconium, mechanically processing, following by a tempering process at the subsistence temperature of alpha zirconium until the finished product is obtained, the cold distortion of the tubular product being effected with the following global stretching: &mgr; >100 for the finished products and &mgr; <50 for the TREX or SUPER TREX-type semi-finished tubular products, whereby at the first stage of the cold distortion the stretching &mgr;<2.0, &mgr;&equals;S /S (where S is the cross-sectional surface of the product before the milling process and S is the cross-sectional surface of the laminated tube) and &mgr;&equals;S /S (where S is the cross-sectional surface of the blank before the first milling process and S is the cross-sectional surface of the finished tube after the last milling process).
