On the relationship among `f' texture factors for the principal planes of zirconium, hafnium and titanium alloys

Abstract Previous work on the relationship among f 0 0 0 2 , f 1 0 1 0 and f 1 1 2 0 in hexagonal materials is examined, and a single cell analysis is described that provides further insight on this subject. The analysis is extended to show the general relationship between f 0 0 0 2 and ` f ' for any plane in the system. Also presented is a method for computation of f 1 0 1 0 and f 1 1 2 0 from inverse pole figure data. Results are consistent with results from direct pole figure data.
