Abstract A new technique is proposed for rapid and accurate texture measurement of AA3104 aluminum sheet, in which the diffraction data along three lines in pole figures are measured according to the texture characteristics. Eight texture parameters are obtained after a new fitting treatment based on the Gaussian distribution. The reproduced pole figures based on the eight parameters are in good agreement with those obtained by the conventional method. An industrial technology for on-line texture determination could be developed based on this technique.
