Electroplastic Effect

Abstract:

Realization of final products frequently involves severe bulk deformation steps and, therefore, methods aimed to improve and increase the materials formability are required. In industry, for bulk material forming, a commonly used method is hot working, where deformations are observed at or above recrystallization temperature of the material; alternatively, incremental forming can be employed, in which intermediate cold deformation steps are followed by annealing to restore the material workability [1].
