Preferential grain growth is reported for hot pressed titanium diboride (TiB 2 ) prepared at 1800°C and 50 MPa. Orientation imaging microscopy and X‐ray diffraction revealed that the grains in the material were preferentially orientated with the [001] direction parallel to the mechanical field. The experimental findings are discussed, with emphasis on the anisotropic properties of TiB 2 .
