Abstract:

An alloy and a method of making the same are described. This alloy is suitable for use in an electrical magnetic induction apparatus. The alloy is characterized in that it may undergo an. alpha. revreaction. gamma. phase transformation upon heating to a sufficiently high temperature and in which the microstructure is oriented in the (110)[001] manner as described by Miller indices and is further characterized by a secondary recrystallized microstructure. The specification is replete with magnetic induction data as well as core loss data for alloys falling within the scope of the invention.
