“…However, the present data is on extruded and rolled alloys which do have a strong texture, and we will take account of that. For rolled and extruded alloys, generally the yield strength will be lowest in a direction at a 45° angle from the longitudinal (L) direction (see [62] for Al-ZnMg extrusions, [63] for Al-Cu based sheet, [64] for commercial purity sheet, [65] for a recovery annealed aluminium alloy), and the L direction has the highest yield strength. The increment in M in the L direction compared to the texture free case is on average 5% (from data in [50,61,63,64]).…”
