Influence of the cold rolled reduction on the stored energy and the recrystallization texture in a Fe-53%Ni alloy

The influence of the cold rolled reduction on stored energy was studied in Fe-53%Ni using neutron diffraction. Measurements of diffraction peak broadening were undertaken to study the influence of stored energy on mechanisms that govern the nucleation and growth of the cube texture in a heavily cold rolled Fe-Ni alloy.
