The pole‐density distributions of two hydrostatically extruded samples, a U–0.75 wt.% Ti alloy and a U–0.75 wt % Ti/W composite alloy, were studied by neutron diffraction methods. Analysis of U 112, U 131 and U 111 pole figures revealed that the α ‐U phases of both samples possess a [010]/[340] duplex fiber texture with a probability ratio of approximately 2.8:1 in favor of the [010] direction. The W phase of the composite sample had a [110] fiber texture. The orientation distribution profiles of the fiber axes obtained from the rocking curves (as a function of the tilt angle) were represented best by a Gaussian–Lorentzian combination function. The full widths at half maximum of the distributions were approximately 21, 11, and 5° for the U [010], U [340] and W [110] fiber axes, respectively.
