Besides the cube bands, the grain boundaries may serve as nucleation sites. Nucleation at the grain boundaries proceeds by growth of subgrains on one side of a preexisting grain boundary into the deformed matrix on the other side beyond this boundary. Conse- quently, this mechanism leads to orientations similar to the rolling texture [34,35]. During the subsequent growth, R oriented grains prevail to the disadvantage of other, competing rolling texture orientations, since they stand out by a fast growing orientation relation- ship to the other three symmetrically equivalent compo- nents of the S orientation in the rolling texture [33]
