In order to improve the material characteristics of single and polycrystals of pure aluminum, the relationships between crystallographic orientations and microstructures, and the mechanical properties were examined. Several conventional grain-forming procedures, such as accumulative roll bonding (ARB), equal-channel angular pressing (ECAP) and accumulative forging bonding (AFB), were performed to obtain the ultrafine-grained structure. Furthermore, some analytical results, such as crystal direction maps, inverse pole figure (IPF), and texture, were obtained from the SEM-electron backscattered diffraction pattern (EBSP). As a result, (1) for the ARB method, increases of strength and ductility were shown, since the cube orientation was developed; (2) for the ECAP method, in the extrusion direction (ED) plane at the die angle Ψ=100°, peculiar distributions of microstructure and hardness were obtained; (3) for the AFB method, stratified inclination microstructures were obtained, and thus the typical texture was also observed.
