Extract

Texture (of a polycrystalline sample) means the orientation distribution of the many crystallites in the sample with respect to a coordinate system on the sample, for example the rolling direction. Texture is responsible for many macroscopic properties of materials, for example in metals and alloys in the process of rolling or hot-pressing. It carries importance in many everyday production processes. Also in areas of geological science the texture of the sample, e.g. of the rocks should be known in order to explain geological processes.
