This paper reports on an Electron Backscattered. Diffraction (EBSD) investigation of two fully dense sintered magnets with differing degrees of crystallographic alignment. The relationship between magnetic alignment and crystallographic texture is demonstrated by comparing with ideal single phase single crystals and the quality of each magnet in terms of the crystallographic alignment is determined. It is suggested that for orientations where the <001> zone axis is not visible in the Kikuchi pattern, then it is more difficult to assign an orientation.
