Structure and texture in Ni–30% Co alloy ribbons subjected to annealing in high magnetic field

Abstract

The structure and texture in the Ni–30% Co alloy subjected to cold rolling and annealings in strong dc magnetic field at the temperatures of above and below the Curie point are studied. It has been shown that, at all annealing temperatures, the average grain size after magnetic annealing is smaller than after annealing without filed. After the magnetic annealing of the alloy in the ferromagnetic state, the volume fraction of grains with cube orientation decreases and the volume fraction of the components of deformationinduced texture increases.
