> texture is only moderate and the preferential orientation of crystal growth appears to be <100>. 
g rate is The orientation of the (100)-texture pole with respect to the specimen directions is driven 
by the vector of heat flow during solidification in the weld pool. The residual stresses 
across all three AIMg3-butt-joints are characterized by compressive residual stresses in 
the weld seam due to a pre-tensioning of the sheets by clamping and balancing tensile 
residual stresses in the parent material. Compared to the MIG weld, the residual stresses 
in the CMT weld are slightly lower. This can be attributed to the lower heat input of the 
CMT process.
