In this study, the textures in cold rolled 316 type austenitic stainless plate with 25 % and 75 % reduction as well as the as-received plate were measured using neutron diffraction. The texture was progressed with increase of reduction rate and the typical texture in cold rolling was observed. In addition, the intergranular strains of each reflection at 25 % reduction were also measured. The largest variations of intergranular strain were observed in 200 reflection. Relation of intergranular strains among 111, 200 and 220 reflections is very similar with that with uniaxial deformation reported in previous studies.
