Book Description

Texture research contributes to the development of engineering materials with new or improved properties, optimization of various industrial processes, and better understanding of geological phenomena. These volumes contain papers presented at a conference on texture research, organized under such headings as: texture & microstructure description & analysis; modelling of texture development; texture & anisotropy; deformation textures; recrystallization textures; texture in steel & aluminium; texture in films, coatings, & oxides; texture in ceramics, composites, & polymers; texture in geological research; and grain boundaries & misorientation distribution. Includes author index.
