The motivation for this work is to explain the development of special textures during recrystallization such as the cube component, {001}<100> in fcc metals. Monte Carlo simulation is used with two different mobility and energy functions. The energy function has little influence on texture development whereas the mobility function has a strong influence. A mobility function with a single broad peak does not promote growth of the cube although texture changes do occur. A sharply peaked mobility function, however, leads to marked growth in the cube. The behavior of the various texture components is studied by tracking the exchange of area between orientations. Plots in the same Euler space used to depict textures reveal a wealth of detail about which components gain or lose area from each other.
