Electron backscatter diffraction is applied to the study of texture and mesotexture in superpure nickel. Low level strain annealing is shown to influence the grain boundary population such that greater proportions of special boundaries exist. It is found that variations in the texture of a specimen are not reflected by characteristic changes in the grain boundary population, indicating that texture analysis cannot be applied to the prediction of special boundary densities. Mechanisms active during the evolution of special boundaries are discussed and compared to those involved under similar conditions in commercially pure nickel. It is shown that alnnealing twin formation need not be prevalent for a high level of special boundaries to form. Differences in the hardness of various boundary types are identified, such that low angle boundaries and ∑3 boundaries close to exact misorientation can be categorized separately to other boundaries, in that they show minimal hardening.

Strontium hexaferrite powder synthesized conventionally was treated in a hydrogen atmosphere and then recalcined in air. This process had a marked effect on the microstructure and on the magnetic properties of the initial sample. The process was repeated several times and the effects investigated. The results showed that the products of the treatment prior to recalcination are Fe and Sr7Fe10O22 and this resulted in a change in magnetic properties from hard to soft. Consequent calcination, resulted in the reformation of strontium hexaferrite but now with a much finer grain size. This resulted in a significant enhancement of the coercivity. The variation of the coercivity with the number of cycles indicated a maximum value of 413 kA/m which then remained constant with subsequent cycling.
