The textures of recrystallized Ni and Ni-Fe alloy foils are determined by the X-ray transmission pole figure method.
Most of binnary and ternary Ni-Fe alloy foils have the sharp cube recrystallization texture. But, in very thin foils of several micron thickness, the cube texture does not develop as sharply as in thicker foils and rotates 10∼20° around the 〈001〉 axis of the rolling direction.
Though Ni-Fe alloy foils rolled at liquid nitrogen temperature have the α-brass type rolling texture, they also show the cube recrystallization texture.
It is shown that Mn is effective in developing the cube texture in Ni-Fe alloys.
The mechanism of developing the recrystallization texture is also discussed.
