Components in a complex primary recrystallization texture, which is a matrix texture for secondary recrystallization to the Goss texture in 3% silicon‐iron strip, have been determined by the axis‐chart method of Jetter, McHargue, and Williams. The results obtained are compared with former pole‐figure results and found to include components not previously resolved or noted. It is found also that the components of the texture explain reasonably well the observed magnetic torque curve of the material.
