**4. Discussion**

It was seen that after both 6 and 12 passes, the cross-rolled, 5056 type aluminum sheets exhibited more uniform, four-folded {200} pole figures compared to unidirectionally rolled sheets. In accordance, a notably smaller value of rolling-type earing (~1.5) was observed after cross-rolling compared to the unidirectionally rolled sheets (~2.2–2.5). As a consequence, a different scaling factor was required to predict average earing in the case of cross-rolling (60 instead of 40) even if all other parameters (including the parameters of cold rolling, texture measurements, deep-drawing, blank geometry, etc.) are unchanged. Finally, it can be concluded that besides unidirectional rolling, the developed method can be applied for cross-rolling as well.
