THE STRENGTH AND PLASTICITY OF ANISOTROPIC METALS

Abstract

Rolling and transverse-direction tensile tests were made on specimens from a series of magnesium alloy sheets. The dependence of strain ration on alloy and testing direction is rationalized in terms of the (0001) spread of the pole figures. It is suggested that the increase of strain ratio with strain and with annealing may result from the behavior of localized shear bands.
