Today's demands directly encourage to utilize the light alloy materials in industrial production. In the automotive industry, there is an increasing tendency to reduce the total weight of the car and thus also the weight of the individual car-body parts. A correct description of the material deformation behaviour with respect to the different stress states is very necessary for the own possibility to use these materials in the production. This paper describes a measurement of the mechanical properties and deformation behaviour of aluminium alloy Amag 6000 under the plane strain conditions. Thus these properties are monitored and evaluated by means of the plain strain tensile test. In this case, the plane strain is achieved by the shape concept of the testing specimen, which is loaded by the uniaxial tensile stress state using a standard testing device. The determined mechanical properties and the resulting stress-strain curves of the material under the plain stress state can be further used at defining material models for a more accurate description of the material deformation process during the sheet metal forming process.
