Notes:
The calculation of characteristics describing texture as well as relations between orientations and morphological features of microstructure are based on single orientation measurements. For such experimental data, it is essential to estimate the number of necessary measurements of single orientations for a statistically significant representation of the investigated quantity, which, in the present paper, is the orientation distribution function (ODF). In a previous article [Pospiech, Jura & Gottstein (1993) Mater Sci. Forum, 157–162, 407–412], this number has been estimated by a criterion that is used here for a cubic and a hexagonal material. This approach is very useful since it allows one to estimate the minimum orientation number with or without referring to an ODF calculated from pole figures measured by X-ray or neutron diffraction.
