The sizes and orientations of 305 grains in a nonoriented silicon steel sheet sample were measured by means of an etch‐figure technique. To these data, both the classical series‐expansion method and the maximum‐entropy method were applied to determine the rolling plane inverse pole figures of the sample. The results have been carefully checked and compared with the original and it is confirmed that the maximum‐entropy method is preferable to the former in obtaining a satisfactory result.
