Cube Texture in Body Centered Magnetic Alloys

Abstract
Cube oriented, (100) [001], iron silicon alloys have been prepared in thickness ranging from 0.8 mil to 11.0 mils. Both ac and dc magnetic properties are given for the alloys. The data show that comparable properties to commercial singly oriented steel of the (110) [001] texture are obtained both parallel and perpendicular to the rolling direction. The magnetic properties are sensitive to both the amount of cube oriented grains and the distribution of the directions about the rolling direction of the sheet.
