Neutron diffraction analysis of rolling texture and its development in steels with a micro-duplex structure

In this paper first neutronographic texture investigations for two-phased steels are presented. From each of the phases three complete pole figures were measured. The analysis were carried out by means of the series expansion method. The three-dimensional orientation distribution functions of all specimens are of tubular shape. For the interpretation of the differences to single-phased steels the relationships for transformation by Kurdjumov-Sachs and by Nishiyama were utilized. (author)
