Preliminary Orientation

The orientation distribution function (ODF) of a polycrystalline material is usually constructed from individual orientations by the harmonic method on the assumption of a certain function distribution in the Euler space around each orientation. In the present paper, a new method is developed to determine the ODF from individual orientations. A natural partitioning of the orientation elements in the Euler space around some clustered orientations is proposed. Thus, the preliminary values of orientation density in the elements are directly estimated by the volumes of the orientation elements and the number of grains (or measured points) in each orientation element. Then, the texture vector is further refined using the maximum-entropy method with the preliminary orientation densities as constraints. The validity of this method is exemplified by the texture analysis of a cubic material from individual orientations modelled by Gaussian distribution.

The maximum entropy method (MEM) was applied to the determination of orientation distribution functions (ODF) of hexagonal materials. It shows that the ODF determination may be treated as a standard problem of the MEM. Two examples, which confirm the preferable applicability of this method and the reliability of its results, are presented.
