The article presents experimental work on the anisotropy aspects of the mechanical properties of WE43 alloy and technically pure magnesium (99.95%) obtained by hot extrusion. The experimental work includes structural and phase characterisation of as-extruded materials and uniaxial compression tests conducted parallel and perpendicular to the extrusion direction. Complementary studies of the macrotexture of materials before and after plastic deformation were carried out. Based on received results the degree of anisotropy of the mechanical properties of the tested materials was determined. The texture was identified as an important factor determining the activation of particular deformation mode of the materials after extrusion. Keywords: WE43 alloy, anisotropy, texture, compression test, microstructure
