A new method is described for making composite samples for the x-ray diffraction, back reflection pole figure technique. Considerable savings, in material and machining costs, are realized by cutting strips, for lamination, at 45° to the rolling direction. The required reference surface is obtained, during lamination, by maintaining an angle of 54.7° between the strips and the surface developed by the cut edges. The advantages of the composite technique (better averaging, minimization of errors, and evaluation of random intensity from the pole figure data) are retained by this modification.
