Aluminum beverage cans should have very specific crystallographic textures to increase productivity, reduce losses and reduce the amount of material. The present work seeks to add information on the crystallographic texture of aluminum alloy 3104 H-19 during the different manufacturing steps, which undergoes a flat sheet of metal for a cylindrical body. The work scope encompasses from the cup drawing to the final ironing operation and its objective is to add information on the texture evolution of the aluminum alloy undergoes in the intermediary steps. Crystallographic texture continues to change from the drawn cup through the ironing stages. This rotation is assumed to be a grain alignment with the plastic flow of the material.
