Abstract

It has been shown that, in some copper-based alloys subjected to cold deformation by rolling to 98.6–99% followed by recrystallization annealing, a sharp cube texture can be produced. Optimum conditions of annealing have been determined, which make it possible to produce a sharp biaxial texture in Cu-Ni, Cu-Fe, and Cu-Cr alloys with the fraction of cube grains of more than 95%; this opens a possibility of using thin ribbons made of these alloys as substrates for multilayer film compositions, in particular when developing second-generation high-temperature superconductors.
