IT has been generally accepted for some time that the mechanical properties of light alloys varied with the direction of grain, but even in the design of aircraft structures only a slight allowance has been made for this variation. The importance of this grain direction on the strength of light alloys was first realized as a result of the abnormally low test strength of one lug made from a 6½″ dia. DTD.683 extruded bar.
