thread404-187064: Z-Direction Testing of Steel Plate
Just came cross the above thread because I have the same concern. Now it seems I found the answer and would like to share with everyone.
ASASTM A770 / A770M - 03(2007) Standard Specification for Through-Thickness Tension Testing of Steel Plates for Special Applications
I don't have a copy yet. Just from the title, seems like it is the standard for anyone who wants to know lamellar tearing resistance. Also, it seems it is to evaluate elongation and reduction of area in z-directly mainly. And I read somewhere else that YS and UTS won't change, much.
Welcome anyone to check in their experience and opinions.

YS and TS in Z-direction may easily decrease to values lower than 80% of the value in transverse direction. This drop will be observed if the sulphur content is high (e.g. 0,020%) or if shrinking caviites, pores,.. are remaining (e.g. insufficient deformation ratio during rolling)
