Determination of the Complete ODF of Cubic System Materials by theMaximum Entropy Method

Abstract

A maximum entropy method (MEM) suitable for determining the complete ODF of cubic system materials is developed. This method treats the cubic system material texture data just as if they were if tegragonal besides introducing the relations among W lmn which characterize the cubic system. As experimental evidence this method has been applied to determine the complete ODF of a cold‐rolled deep‐drawing steel sheet sample and the result shows that the texture of the sample, as is supposed, consists of a {111} fiber and an incomplete 〈110〉 fiber only while the negative regions and the weak ghosts presented in the incomplete ODF of the same sample are disappeared here.
