Abstract

The nickel-iron-niobium alloy containing about 79% Ni, 8% Nb and 13% Fe in sheet form has been prepared and fabricated. The rolling texture of the alloy after cold reduction of 50 and 94% has been determined by using X-ray counter diffractometer and the results are presented in pole figures. In comparison with Ni-Fe-Mo, the results are discussed from a view of the difference of mechanical hardness between these two categories of alloys.
