In order to prepare large single crystal sheets from an electrolytic iron, the effect of roll textures on the growth of large crystals by a strain-anneal technique has been investigated. The results show that the preferred orientation of large grains grown by the strain-anneal method is approximately the same as the roll texture, and that the large crystals free from island grains left on the sheet surface has the (100) plane in the sheet surface. It is necessary to prepare a sharp (100) [011] roll texture for the growth of large crystals (1∼2 mm in thickness and about 45×300 mm2 in the sheet surface) with the (100) [011] orientation by the strain-anneal method. This roll texture was produced by cross-rolling in the final stage of rolling process. Attempts to grow crystals with other orientations ended in a failure.
