Abstract
Four different examples of neutron diffraction pole figure measurements are
presented showing the variety of applications in metallic texture and microstructure
analysis. Two examples are concerned with the study of texture effects on cold rolled
titanium and warm bended α-iron sheets. Two further examples are connected with
the study of twinning laws and special orientation relationships in hexahedritic and
octahedritic iron meteorites. Nishiyama–Wassermann orientations between α- and γ-iron phases are experimentally confirmed.
