Laws of electrical stimulation of plastic deformation of metals and alloys at various structural levels

Theory of electroplasticity based on electromagnetic induction

“…spans length-scales from the atomic (individual dislocations) to the mesoscopic (slip bands) and the macroscopic there is a need for experimental observations of electroplasticity across this range of scales [11].…”

Changes in physical-mechanical properties and structure of ferritic-pearlitic steel 15Kh2NMFA caused by severe low-temperature deformation and exposure to alternating magnetic field

“…The discovery of the magnetoplastic effect (MPE) [1,2] and electroplastic effect [3,4] has stimulated extensive studies of the influence of constant and alternating magnetic fields on the structure and mechanical properties of ferromagnetics and antiferromagnetics [2], and also, of ionic and covalent crystals that have no magnetic order [5]. The MPE was studied under conditions of active deformation and creep.…”

Static electropulsing-induced phase transformations of a cold-deformed ZA27 alloy

“…As an advanced process, electropulsing treatment (EPT) has been found to be more powerful and more effective in accelerating microstructural changes and phase transformations [1][2][3][4][5][6] and in improving properties of alloys, when compared to traditional thermal and thermomechanical processes. [7][8][9][10] Previous studies reported that electropulsing tremendously accelerated phase transformations by a factor of at least 6000 times, compared with that achieved in the normal ageing process.…”
