First sentence: The following are the most important causes of the plastic anisotropy: anisotropy of individual crystals in polycrystalline metals, directionality of the distribution of particular phases and defects in multiphase alloys, leading to fibrous structure, and internal stresses developing in effect of oriented deformation.
Description: This monograph deals with the plastic anisotropy described by the strain ratio, its physical meaning and technological aspects. The method of precise determination of the instability of crystallographic orientation in deformed imperfect single crystals is presented; it may be considered the essential factor in the analysis of deformation texture in polycrystals. The book is meant to be of help to those engaged in fundamental research and technology of plastic working, suggesting new useful methods and effective procedures.
