Effect of structural transformations on the texture of NiFe base alloys

1. Processes of texture formation were studied in three NiFe system alloys containing Mo and Ti (alloy No. 1), Cr, Ti and Al (alloy No. 2) and Co, Ti and Al (alloy No. 3). The deformation texture is identical in all alloys which agrees with the proximity of stacking fault energies as estimated from X‐ray data. 2. Annealing leads to a pronounced diffusion and alteration of the texture in alloy No. 1, but does not alter the texture type and intensity in alloy No. 2, whereas in alloy No. 3 the typical strain texture components are intensified. 3. Structure processes governing texture formation were identified as recrystallization in alloy No. 1, and oriented γ–γ′ transformation in alloys No. 2 and 3 where the intergranular boundaries were blocked by heterogenous precipitation of phases not possessing fcc structure.
