The texture of a mill-produced, Nb-bearing, interstitial-free, hot-rolled sheet steel was evaluated at a number of sheet thickness positions. The texture was also studied following laboratory cold rolling and following recrystallization. A nonsymmetric case crystallite orientation distribution function analysis applicable to the analysis on nonsymmetric pole figures was used. While sheet steels are generally assumed to have orthotropic physical symmetry, it was found that an appreciable degree of physical asymmetry existed. The asymmetry was with respect to the rolling direction (RD) and normal direction (ND) mirror planes, while transverse direction (TD) mirror-plane symmetry existed.
