ABSTRACT
In Chapter 4 the common techniques to determine macrotextures experimentally by means of X-ray and neutron diffraction were introduced. The direct output of such texture measurements is the reflected intensity in the form of the two pole figure angles a and P, that is, the distribution of the poles in the traditional pole figure (Case Study No. 10). Hence the pole figure is the obvious choice for a critical assessment of experimental texture results, and this method will be discussed in some detail in Section 5.2.
