Untextured and highly textured iron titanate specimens were produced by vacuum filtering iron titanate‐ethanol suspensions in the absence and presence of a strong magnetic field, respectively. Crystallographic texture was assessed by measuring X‐ray pole figures on surfaces parallel and perpendicular to the field direction for several peaks in each system. Morphological texture was assessed by measuring grain size as a function of angle to a reference direction. Results indicate that magnetic field processing imposes a strong, fiber‐type texture on the order of 30 times random, with the b ‐axis parallel to the applied field. Additionally, morphological texturing is absent for the grain sizes studied in this work.
