The values of the orientation distribution function and the data of the pole-figure are correlated by products of particular conditional probabilities. One of the possible approximations of these products are obtained and demonstrated with the help of an example showing how the orientation distribution function can thus be obtained.

The coverage of a given diffraction instrument as a percentage of the area 2π of a pole figure hemisphere is a crucial parameter of each diffraction instrument used for texture or strain pole figure determination. On the basis of this knowledge, the number of rotations and rotation angles for a full determination of the orientation distribution function can be optimized. However, the determination of this quantity is non-trivial. This paper presents a method that projects a given detector coverage into pole figure space, i.e. outlines the detector areas in a pole figure, and then determines the fraction of the entire 2π pole figure hemisphere around the sample that is covered. The freely available Generic Mapping Tools (GMT) and ImageJ are utilized for this quantification. With this method, it is shown that the empirically determined rotation angles for the HIPPO neutron time-of-flight diffractometer are close to optimal for a set of three rotations.

Because of the superposition of pole figures corresponding to symmetrically equivalent crystal directions, only the reduced orientation distribution function f∼(g) can be obtained directly by pole figure inversion. The additional information contained in the positivity condition of the ODF allows, however, the determination of an approximation to the “indeterminable” part and hence of the complete ODF f(g), if the texture has sufficiently large zero-ranges. The application of the method and the accuracy of the results was tested using two theoretical and one experimental textures. The accuracy of the complete ODF depends on the size of the zero-range, the errors in its determination, and on the errors, experimental and truncational, of the reduced ODF. The “physical zero” used in order to determine the zero-range is defined according to the statistical error of the pole figure measurement.

A software for the calculation of diffraction elastic constants (DEC) for materials both with and without preferred orientation was developed. All grain-interaction models that can use the crystallite orientation distribution function (ODF) are incorporated, including Kröner, Hill, inverse Kröner, and Reuss. The functions of the software include: reading the ODF in common textual formats, pole figure calculation, calculation of DEC for different (hkl,φ,ψ), calculation of anisotropic bulk constants from the ODF, calculation of macro-stress from lattice strain and vice versa, as well as mixture ratios of (hkl) of overlapped reflections in textured materials.

The relationship between the orientation distribution function (ODF) and the pole figure is based on the geometry of projection lines in the orientation space.The paper presents an analytical description of the projection lines and their transformations by symmetry operations. Using simple algebraical rules some properties of the projection lines as well as some properties of the associated projection lines (coupled due to the centrosymmetry of the pole figure) have been derived.
