The anisotropic behavior of as-extruded 7003 aluminum alloy under quasi-static compression and high-speed impact was studied using samples with axes parallel to extrusion direction (ED) (0° sample), at an angle of 45° to ED (45° sample), and perpendicular to ED (90° sample). The experimental results show that the yield stress of the 0° sample is the highest, while the 45° sample is the lowest. Compared with other samples, the 90° sample is more sensitive to the applied strain rate, which experiences a rapid failure after reaching peak st...
