makroteksturen
Makroteksturen, or macrotexture, is the large-scale preferred orientation of crystallographic directions in a polycrystalline material. It describes the alignment of many grains over a region large enough to be observed at macroscopic scales.
It is distinct from microtexture (intragranular orientation) and mesotexture (intermediate scales). Macrotexture typically develops during processing
Measurement and analysis of macrotexture are usually done with X-ray diffraction or neutron diffraction to obtain
The effects of macrotexture include directional anisotropy in mechanical properties such as yield strength and formability,
Applications and relevance extend to metals manufacturing and materials engineering, including steels, aluminum, copper, and titanium
