Recrystallized ND//(111) texture is obtained from cold rolled ND//(111) matrix even in single crystals where no grain boundary exists. These ND//(111) recrystallized grains are analyzed to emerge by (112) rotation from cold rolled ND//(111) matrix. This rotation is related to{110} (111) slip systems operated during cold rolling. Recrystallized orientations from cold rolled {111}(110) single crystal are 18 degrees rotated around these (112) axes and deviate from ND//(111) by 6 degrees. Since this deviation is not recognizable in polycrystalline material owing to its symmetry, ND//(111) recrystallized texture in cold rolled commercial ferritic steels such as IF steels or electrical steels, may also be explained by the same (112) rotation, not by conventional ND//(111) rotation.
