The crystallographic texture, a measurement of grain orientation in materials, is a major factor contributing to mechanical properties and performance. In this study, the textures of four 0.178 mm diameter MP35N wires were analyzed to compare changes in texture with composition, process and manufacturer. The wire texture data was quantified by several texture components and the components were correlated to mechanical property and fatigue performance of wires. This study demonstrated that wire texture is a link between process and properties. The texture analysis was performed using Electron Backscatter Diffraction (EBSD).
