As a result of Lankford value measurements, the specimen rolled with the cone-shape roll exhibited a smaller planar anisotropy than the reference specimen and an average Lankford value close to unity, which are likely due to the texture modifications introduced during rolling with the cone-shaped roll.展开更多
