3. Conclusion

Texture analysis is used extensively in the structural materials production industry. This article has shown that successive production steps, such as plastic deformation, recrystallization and phase transformation, impart a characteristic texture to the material. Having detailed the mechanisms of texture formation, it is now time to make the most of textures to optimize properties. The article [M 3 042] details the relationship between the crystallographic texture – and the mechanical and physical properties of polycrystalline materials. Features used in industry such as various...
