| Abstract |
| The texture of a drawn wire was measured using a method proposed by Van Houtte. In the method, wires are glued parallel to each other on the flat sample holder. The texture of the glued flat wire specimen is measured and analyzed to obtain the texture of wire. In order to estimate the accuracy of the method, l8μm thick aluminum foil was rolled to a 1.5mm dia. tube shape. The textures of the aluminum foil and tube-shape specimens were measured and compared. The similar orientation components were found in the both specimens, but the intensities of the orientation components decreased due to the lost of information. This method was applied to the texture measurement of the drawn aluminum wire. The measured pole figures showed that the (111) fiber texture developed in the surface layer and the {111} <112> circular texture developed in the sub-surface layer. |
