Development of cube texture in pure Ni, Ni-W and Ni-Mo alloys prepared by the powder metallurgy route

Development of textures after heavy cold rolling (∼95%) and annealing were studied in powder metallurgically prepared pure Ni, Ni-5at.%W and Ni-5at.%Mo alloys. It has been found that W and Mo additions to Ni are beneficial for the development of sharp cube texture, although W has a much more pronounced effect than Mo.
