The rolling anisotropy of Ni3Al single crystals was studied. A single crystal sheet in the (011) plane showed remarkable anisotropy. Rolling the sheet in the [100] direction was simple but was almost impossible in the [011] direction. Substantial anisotropy was not observed in the (111) and (001) sheets. The texture of the rolled (011) and (111) sheets were {011}<011>. It is concluded that the rolling anisotropy of single crystal sheets is determined by the presence of active slip system related to compressive strain normal to the sheet plane, and tensile strain parallel to the rolling direction.
