Texture development of 50% NiFe strip by powder rolling

The development of deformation and recrystallization textures has been investigated with the help of orientation distribution function (ODF) analysis in 50% NiFe strip manufactured by powder rolling. The deformation texture is the copper-type containing {112}〈111〉, {011}〈211〉 and {123}〈634〉 as main texture components. On the other hand, the recrystallization texture after final annealing consists of only one predominant cube component, {100}〈011〉, which is referred to as the aluminium-type. The recrystallization textures depend directly upon the second cold rolling textures. It has been quantitatively discussed that the stronger the cube component in final product, the better the magnetic properties.
