Quantitative texture analysis, including calculation of the orientation distribution function, is used to demonstrate textures in alumina hot‐forged at 1800°C. As suggested by earlier investigations, strong basal textures can be produced by pressing and forging alumina. Experiments in plane strain support arguments for slip‐based texture development. Since the earlier investigations provided incomplete information on preferred orientation, a comparison is made of current and past procedures used to report textures in alumina.
