Patent ID: 7381318

Claim:
A method for manufacturing a biaxially textured metal material comprising the steps of, manufacturing a plating solution comprising 100˜400 g/l nickel sulfate, 70 g/l or less nickel chloride, 20˜80 g/l boric acid, 50 g/l or less sodium sulfate, 10 g/l or less sodium tungstate and 10 g/l or less cobalt chloride at pH 2˜4 and 50˜80° C.; depositing a biaxially textured metal layer by an electroplating process in the plating solution on the surface of a rotating cylindrical cathode having a single-crystalline or a quasi-single-crystalline orientation; and peeling the deposited biaxially textured metal layer off the rotating cylindrical cathode after electroplating wherein the peeled biaxially textured metal layer has substantially the same crystalline orientation as that of the rotating cylindrical cathode.
