Abstract
A process for producing a cube textured foil is described. The process includes providing a cube textured metal foil M. The process further includes electroplating an epitaxial layer of an alloy on the foil M, whereby the epitaxial layer substantially replicates the cube texture of the metal foil M. The process further includes electroplating a non-epitaxial layer of an alloy on the epitaxial layer. The process further includes separating the electroplated alloy from the cube textured metal foil M to obtain an electro-formed alloy with one cube textured surface.
