Dear Mr Bhowmik,
do not expect a massive metal ingot to be necessarily free of preferred
orientation, in particular in presence of a dendritic microstucture.
Thus it should be no surprise to observe wrong reflection intensities.
Or did you manage to make a "powder" from your Cr based material?
Hello, I am studying a refractory metal Laves phase (Cr-Cr2X-based) system.
My alloys arc arc melted an annealed. Hence it has a typical dendritic
microstructure. The two phases in the material are Cr-rich and the
intermetallic Cr2X. The Cr phase has a bcc and the intermetallic has a
complex C1
