Cube texture formation in P/M Ni, Ni-W and Ni-Mo alloy tapes for coated superconductor applications
Pure Ni, Ni-5at.%Mo and Ni-5at.%W prepared through P/M route have been severely cold deformed (similar to 95%) and given different heat treatments to develop sharp cube component ({001}< 100 >) for coated superconductor applications. It was found that amongst the three materials studied, Ni-5at%W develops the most sharp cube texture. This is in contrary to the observation in similar materials produced by the melting and casting route.
