Hello to everybody.

I am studying wrought plates (no powder) of aluminium alloys with a
Bragg-Brentano difractometer. Our patterns are very different from a model
aluminium pattern without Prefered Orientation or "Grainyness", so I suppose
that our samples have several very strong Prefered Orientation. Nevertheless
I required your opinion about the subject, so I can exclude a "grainyness"
effect.

All the opinions and bibliographical references on the subject will be welcome.

Thank you in advance
