The aim of the invention is to provide a
metal strip for epitaxial
coating with a biaxially textured layer, this
metal strip, however, being able to be produced in an uncomplicated manner and having a high tensile strength, low magnetic losses and / or a high electrical
conductivity. According to the invention, the
metal strip is comprised of Nj, Cu, Ag or alloys thereof all serving as basic material, whereby the one-layer metal strip and, in the instance of a multilayer metal strip, at least one of its
layers contains 10 nm to 5 μm large, strength-increasing dispersoids comprised of carbides, borides, oxides and / or nitrides with a volume proportion
ranging from 0.1 to 5%. In the instance of a multilayer metal strip, the
layers form a composite, and at least one of the
layers does not contain any dispersoids and has a biaxial texture. For the production, a starting material is used, which is comprised of Ni, Cu, Ag or of alloys thereof all serving as basic material and which contains 0.2 to 5 atom percent of an additive comprised of oxidizable, nitridable, bondable and / or carbidable elements. A one-layer or a multilayer strip is produced from this starting material by means of deforming methods, whereby for producing the multilayer metal strip, a basic material that does not contain the aforementioned additive is used as one of its layers. Afterwards, the strip is subjected to a recrystallization annealing in order to form a cubical texture. Finally, the strip is subjected to an annealing under an
oxygen,
nitrogen,
boron or carbon
partial pressure, which is greater than the equilibrium
partial pressure of oxides, nitrides, borides and carbides of the additive elements contained in the
alloy, but is less than the equilibrium
partial pressure of oxides, nitrides, borides and carbides of the basic elements Ni, Cu and Ag of the strip
alloy.
