Interactive and quantitative texture determination by consecutive inverse pole figures
A new method, the 'consecutive inverse pole figure method' for texture determination, has been developed. In this method the data set of individual crystal orientations, obtained by Electron Backscatter Diffraction (EBSD) Crystal Orientation Mapping (COM) of a sample, are divided into subgroups, according to their positions in the ND and RD inverse pole figures sequentially (conversely using RD and ND in sequence), to find a texture component. By repeating the procedure different texture components in the sample are determined.
