In the present study, the texture heterogeneity across the thickness of API X70 steel subjected to hot deformation and different posttreatments was investigated. X-ray diffraction and electron backscattered diffraction were used to analyze crystallographic orientation and grain boundary distributions at the center and surface layers of specimens. The initial material was rolled at 1000C to 67% reduction; then one deformed sample was cooled in air, and the others were quenched in water and finally tempered at 350C and 700C for 1 h. The shear strain generated by friction between rolls and strip induces heterogeneity across thickness. The results showed that in the center layer, the (001)[110] texture dominated in all specimens, whereas the {110}//ND component was developed at the surface layer. Furthermore, a local misorientation histogram showed that the surface layer was subjected to a higher degree of deformation in comparison with the center layer due to additional shear deformation.
