Abstract
Uranium was cold rolled to a reduction in thickness of 90 pct and the preferred orientation of the grains was determined from X-ray intensity data. Complete pole figures for a large number of atom planes were plotted, and the preferred orientation was found to be duplex (102) [010] + (012) [021]. These preferred orientations are compared with those reported for many of the hexagonal-close-packed metals.
