Introduction
What is crystallographic texture?
In a polycrystalline material, the crystallographic axes of the grains can be oriented randomly with respect to each other, or they can be oriented so that there is a non-random distribution. If there is a preferred orientation, then we say that the material has crystallographic texture.
