By employing a high-energy x-ray diffraction technique, the authors report that uniaxial tensile plastic deformation induced the grain growth and texture development in a bulk nanocrystalline Ni-Fe alloy. The effects become more pronounced with increasing the plastic strain (closer to the fracture surface). The texture development accompanying the grain rotation indicates that dislocation motion contributed to the observed plasticity in the nanocrystalline Ni-Fe alloy. The quantitative experimental data suggest that the dislocation storage was absent in the uniformly deforming region; whereas the dislocation storage was present in the necking region, where the grain growth was substantial.
