This paper presents plastic deformation experiments of polycrystalline akimotoite. It is shown that a change develops in the crystallographic preferred orientation pattern of akimotoite with temperature, with the c-axis maximum parallel to the compression direction developing at high temperature, whereas the c-axes are preferentially oriented parallel to the shear direction or perpendicular to the compression direction at lower temperatures.
