Abstract
In an earlier analysis of the B—H curves of polycrystalline iron it was shown that a simple ‘trichotomy’ of the steep part of the curves could lead to useful estimates of the quantitative distribution of operative lattice orientation along any given direction in polycrystalline sheet material1. Subsequent work was directed towards correlating such estimates with directional measurements of Young's modulus2; and it has been found that while the general trend of agreement is unmistakable, there is a consistent tendency for the trichotometrical method, when applied along the rolling direction, to yield a modest over-assessment of the operative percentage of [100] orientation.
