A comparison of ultrasonic and X-ray determinations of texture in thin Cu and Al plates [link]Paper  doi  abstract   bibtex   
Ultrasonic techniques for determining the orientation distribution coefficients (ODC’s), which define the preferred orientation of polycrystals, are discussed. The theory is reviewed for thin plates of cubic crystallites for which the texture information is deduced from the velocity anisotropy of guided modes. Experimental ultrasonic and X-ray predictions of the ODC’s of up to an order of 4 are compared for plates of commercially pure electrolytic tough pitch (ETP) copper and aluminum. ForW 420 andW 440 in both samples andW 400 in copper, the predictions agree to \textbarΔW\textbar∼10-3. However, considerably greater differences are reported for the predictions ofW 400 in aluminum. Interpretation of these comparisons is assisted by a detailed error analysis for the ultrasonic technique and reference to a number of other recent comparisons of ultrasonic and neutron or X-ray predictions of ODC’s Possible applications of the ultrasonic technique during the production and forming of metal sheet are indicated.
