Described is the production of a metal article with fine metallurgical structure and texture by a process that includes forging and rolling and control of the forging and rolling conditions. Also described is a metal article with a minimum of statically crystallized grain size difference in grain size at any location of less than about +/- 3 %, as well as a dispersion in orientation content ratio of textures of less than about +/- 4 % at any location.
