Crystal orientation in a polycrystalline material determines the characteristics of the material. When a material is deformed, a specific crystallographic orientation of the grains with respect to the deformation direction becomes predominant. A technique used to determine crystal orientation or texture is the construction of a pole figure. A pole figure is a contour map, in stereographic projection, of the concentration of poles of selected crystallographic planes as a function of spatial orientation. The data used to produce pole figures are obtained by X-ray diffraction techniques. The techniques are complicated and can be simplified using computerized data acquisition, reduction, and CRT display techniques. Pole figures of cold-rolled cartridge brass (70Cu--30Zn) taken from published literature were found to closely compare with results achieved at Bendix Kansas City.
