Abstract
Ni-Fe alloys with the cube texture were cold-rolled to several microns thickness and their texture development was examined by the X-ray transmission pole figure method.
Since the cube texture was a quasi-stable orientation, it remained until a fairly advanced stage of cold-rolling. When cold-rolled heavily, the cube orientation rotates to near {641}⟨\bar112⟩.
The heavily cold-rolled foils in which the initial texture rotates to an orientation near {641}⟨\bar112⟩ develops a sharp cube texture after annealing, but the foils which retain the initial texture do not. The (100)[001] orientation in deformed matrices, which exist near the surface, may become nuclei of recrystallization grain.
