Methods of x-ray diffractometry and transmission electron microscopy are used to study the crystallographic texture and dislocation structure of low-alloyed steel after controlled rolling. It is demonstrated that the formation of crystallographic texture and the corresponding dislocation structure are interrelated. These processes are a manifestation of different sides of one phenomenon of developed plastic strain. The fractal dimensions of cellular dislocation structure boundaries of the main texture components in deformed steel are determined using the multiple grid method.
