Texture evolution and fcc/hcp transformation in Fe-Mn-Si-Cr alloys by tensile deformation

▶ Texture develops due to tensile deformation and recrystallization. ▶ 〈1 0 1〉 oriented grain along tensile direction shows high martensite formation rate. ▶ Sample with 〈1 0 1〉 texture exhibits improved shape memory effect.
