Abstract
A new formulation of the self consistent model has been applied to predict the plastic behaviour of Al-Li Alloys. This mode1 enables to take into account simultaneously the crystallographic texture, the morphology of grains, the internal stresses evolution and the anisotropy of intracrystalline hardening. Microscopic observations and analyses of crystallographic textures are used to constitute the data for the self consistent scheme. As results of such calculations, we present the variations of plastic properties versus the angle between the tensile axis and rolling direction. Initial Yield point, macroscopic hardening modulus as well as transversal plastic flow are examined. The direct comparison with experimental results is given. A satisfactory agreement with numerical results is observed.
