Why are tensile tests of rolled sheets preferably performed on samples parallel to the direction TD and not RD? What makes it more critical? This preferable orientation is used in papers, and also recomended in some standards... for example standards for quality check of sheet metals. Thank you for explanation :)

Tensile tests of rolled sheets are preferably performed on samples taken parallel to the transverse direction (TD) rather than the rolling direction (RD) due to the following reasons:

Anisotropy in Material Properties:Rolled sheets typically exhibit anisotropic mechanical properties, meaning the material's properties vary depending on the direction of the test. This anisotropy is a result of the rolling process, which aligns the grains and affects the distribution of dislocations differently along the rolling direction (RD) and transverse direction (TD).

Critical Stress Analysis:The transverse direction often experiences different stress conditions in applications, especially in cases where sheets are subjected to complex loading conditions. Testing in the TD helps in understanding the material's behavior under these conditions, ensuring that it can withstand stresses not aligned with the RD.

Quality Control and Uniformity:Performing tensile tests in the TD is critical for quality control. Variations in mechanical properties in the TD can indicate issues with the rolling process, such as uneven deformation or anisotropy beyond acceptable limits. Ensuring uniformity and consistency in the TD is important for the overall reliability of the material in service.

Forming and Application Performance:Many forming operations and applications involve stresses applied in directions other than the rolling direction. Evaluating tensile properties in the TD provides a better understanding of how the material will perform in real-world applications, where multi-directional stresses are common.

Fatigue and Fracture Characteristics:The resistance to fatigue and fracture can vary significantly between RD and TD due to the microstructural orientation. Testing in the TD helps in assessing the material's resistance to crack initiation and propagation under transverse loading conditions, which is crucial for structural integrity.

By testing in the transverse direction, engineers and material scientists can ensure that the rolled sheets will perform adequately under various service conditions, thereby improving safety, reliability, and performance in their intended applications.
