2.4.3. Test Mechanical Properties

Refer to the ASTME8M-04 metal material tensile test method for the tensile property test. Standard tensile samples were cut along the 0◦ direction of the strip (casting and rolling direction, RD), 45◦ , and 90◦ (transverse casting and rolling direction, TD). The tensile properties of the samples were tested at room temperature with the MTS 810 universal material testing machine (USA). The strain rate was 2 mm/min.
