The crystallographic texture of Ti–29Nb–9Ta–10Zr alloy is studied after cold-rolling with different amounts of thickness reduction, up to 60%. The major texture components developed during cold-rolling were: γ-fibre components: {111}〈11¯0〉, {111}〈01¯1〉, {111}〈12¯1〉 and {111}〈1¯1¯2〉; texture componen...
