Abstract
Most of the materials are crystalline in the solid state, and majority of them are polycrystalline in nature. In a polycrystalline material, each grain is an individual crystal whose orientation differs from that of its neighbors. Therefore, a polycrystal can be considered as an aggregate of many individual single crystals, which may be differently oriented.
