Abstract
Textures of commercial pure aluminum and Al-Mg alloy sheets were measured and represented by a threedimensional orientation distribution. The texture of aluminum included the cube texture of a recrystallization texture and (112) [111], (011) [211] and their intermediate S-orientation of rolling textures. Rolled sheets have both cube and rolling textures, but full hard sheets have little cube texture. Rolling textures remain in full annealed aluminum sheets. The texture hardly change by partial annealing or stabilizing. S-orientation, a typical component of the rolling texture in pure aluminum, approaches to (011) [211] in the full hard sheets. The main rolling texture of Al-Mg alloy sheets is (011) [211].
