Abstract

To gain accuracy and, hence, physical reality of the data acquired by XRD measurements of fibre textures, a technique is elaborated to achieve experimental values, which are free of extinction effects. Its elaboration is based on combining basic definitions of the extinction theory and texture analysis. This technique is applicable to characterization of metal coatings that appear infinitely thick for X-rays. A nickel sample representing <100> + <221> texture components is used as a model. Resultant derived series of data on pole-density distribution of the {200} diffraction pole figure shows that the data corresponding to the main <100> texture component are strongly affected by extinction. On the contrary, due to definitions that require reduction of the intensity distribution to multiples of random density, the extinction-free values of the volume fraction of texture components do not differ substantially from those calculated by standard methods. Evidently, any of the standard methods for volume fraction measurements provides reasonable data if secondary extinction is even disregarded.
