THE TEXTURE OF ELECTRODEPOSITED IRON FOILS

The texture of electro-deposited iron foils was measured. It was obser ved that a {110} fibre texture developed in these deposited iron foils . When a sufficiently strong magnetic field was applied along the depo sit layer during the deposition process, a {110}[001] texture develope d from the initially formed {110} fibre texture, with the [001] axis p arallel to the magnetic field. An attempt has been made to explain the texture development and the effect of the applied magnetic field in t he deposition process.
