Critical parameters of the athermal electroplastic effect in metallic materials

Introduction. Plastic deformation and electric current, acting separately, usually have opposite effects on the deformation behavior and flow stresses in electrically conductive materials. In the case of the combined action of plastic deformation and applied electric current, the result is not pre predictable. The study of the synergistic effect of deformation and electric current can be used for metal forming. Aim of the Study. The study is aimed at demonstrating the existence of impulse current threshold parameters at which the athermal electroplastic effect manifests itself in various materials.
