Abstract

The texture index introduced by Harris (1952) is reconsidered from the point of view of the orientation distribution of crystallites in a flat powder specimen. It is shown that the texture index can be used as an approximate measure of texture degree or as a texture correction factor in cases of a weak texture. Its failure in both these aspects for the strong textures is caused by an incorrect averaging of pole densities contained in the original definition of this quantity.
