Developing a texture of a material includes receiving a billet of material having an initial texture. The billet is associated with an extrusion procedure having extrusion routes executed as passes. The following is repeated for each pass to transform the initial texture to a developed texture: the billet is extruded through an inlet channel of an equal channel angular extrusion die according to the routes, and the billet is extruded through an outlet channel of the equal channel angular extrusion die according to the extrusion routes.
