Another aspect that was taken into account for evaluating the behaviour<br />

of material is the lamination direction of blanks. Thus, six different directions to<br />

the direction of rolling were taking into account for the tests: 0 0 , 30 0 , 45 0 , 60 0 ,<br />

75 0 and 90 0 (Table 1). In conclusion, for the specific experimental tensile tests<br />

of the study two factors were considered the main influential factors of the<br />

system.<br />

Should be noted that, for conducting the experimental research we used<br />

the universal test machine WDW-50E and the strain rate was considered<br />

constant at 10mm/min. Also, the measurements of the surface roughness were<br />

undertaken using TAYLOR HOBSON-Surtronic25. Both experimental<br />

planning and data processing was made in Minitab v.15 (trail version).<br />

In Fig. 1 are captured two specimens in various stages of deformation.<br />

From the images we can, easily, see the direction of localized necking or how<br />

the rupture is propagate.<br />

a – aluminium specimen; b – brass specimen.<br />

Since the first phase of the research was found that, from all of the three<br />

types of material studied, steel and brass specimens showed the most<br />

pronounced elongation compare with tensile force applied to the sample. In<br />

aluminium specimens case, necking and material failure occurred very early and<br />

elongation value stood at less than a third of the elongation recorded by brass or<br />

steel.<br />

3. Experimental Results<br />

3.1. Thin Sheets Deformation Capability in Relation to Lamination Direction<br />

The aspect that stood out even during the first phase of experimental tests<br />

was that the lamination direction has a significant influence on the deformation<br />

capability of specimens. For example, in Fig. 2 are illustrated the characteristic<br />

diagrams, obtained from the tensile test, for specimens orientated at 0 0 and 90 0<br />

degrees orientation to main rolling direction. As can be seen from Fig. 2,
