Rolling experiments were performed on an AA1050 aluminium alloy sheet. The sheet was then subjected to static recovery at different temperatures and the crystallographic texture measured by X-ray diffraction. The flow behaviour of the material during subsequent uniaxial tension was determined by self-consistent calculations. It was shown that for uniaxial tension at 45° from the rolling direction, the flow behaviour of the sheet is not strongly affected by the recovery. On the contrary, for uniaxial tension at 0° and 90° from the rolling direction a curve-crossing and softening phenomena were respectively observed.
