Cube, L, BsStrength gradually increases from L1 to L3.
RHighest strength in L1. Lowest strength without process annealing.
S, CGFirst increase then decrease. Highest strength in L2.
Cu, Taylor, ZHighest strength in L1 and decease and constant in L2 and L3.
G, H, CH, CHighest strength in L1, decreases in L2, and then increases in L3.
