We comparatively studied the mechanical properties anisotropy, microstructure and texture of the commercial and the new developed AA6111 alloys through tensile test, optical microscopy, and XRD analysis. The results show that the anisotropy of mechanical properties for the developed AA6111 alloy is lower than that of the commercial alloy. The developed alloy possesses higher r value, lower Δr value and more uniform microstructure, compared with the commercial AA6111 alloy, indicating that the deep drawability of the developed alloy has been improved significantly. The recrystallization textures of the two alloy sheets are also different. The recrystallization texture of the commercial alloy sheet mainly includes Cube and {114}<311> orientations, while the recrystallization texture of developed alloy sheet consists of Cube, Goss and R orientations. The relationships among the deep drawabilities, microstructure and texture were discussed thereafter.
