Hysteresis loops at room temperature were obtained for samples with 0%, 20%, 40%, and 60% thickness reduction using
a vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) from EG&G Princeton Applied Research. For these measurements, the samples were cut into 1 t 5 mm3 approximate dimensions, where t is the thickness of the plate and the larger dimension (5 mm) is
parallel to the rolling direction (RD). The field was applied parallel to the RD
