A condensed review of casting, deformation, and annealing textures of polycrystalline metals and alloys is presented. It is intended to provide an informative but simplified reference for researchers, engineers, and students who are seeking quick information on the development of textures in various metal objects, and for those who are primarily interested in the textures of non-metallic materials, but wish to acquire a general background knowledge on the texture formation in metals.

Very small recrystallized grains of a large variety of orientations were produced locally in lightly rolled high purity aluminum crystals. The rate of growth of these small grains varied greatly, depending on their relative orientation with respect to the matrix crystal. Grains with an orientation corresponding to a [111] rotation of about 40° showed by far the highest rate of growth. These results indicate that recrystallization textures developing in the spontaneous recrystallization of deformed single crystals can be accounted for by the orientation dependence of the rate of growth.
