Here we present a method for recovering through‐thickness profiles of two texture coefficients, namely W400 and W420, in orthorhombic sheets of cubic metals. Our method is based on a careful analysis of the through‐thickness resonance spectra as obtained from resonance‐EMAT or laser‐ultrasound measurements. Shifts in resonance frequencies are related through mathematical formulae to the profiles of the two texture coefficients in question. Resonance spectra generated by EMAT measurements on a copper sample are used to test the validity and usefulness of this theory.
