Anisotropy of physical and mechanical properties of textured polycrystalline materials strongly depends on microstructural characteristics, such as subgrain sizes, lattice deformations, etc. Generalized Pole Figures (GPF) is an attempt to estimate the anisotropy of these properties; so, the energy stored during plastic deformation is a key parameter in primary recrystallization. In this work, the technique to measure GPF was implemented for X-Ray diffraction and applied to comparative study of property anisotropy of steels. GPF?s of texture, crystallite size and microstrains have been characterized and compared between IF and Si steels.
