Electrically assisted (EA) formation has attracted much attention in recent years. However,
the multiscale deformation mechanism of materials under multifield (electrical, thermal, and …

The electroplastic effect and microstructural mechanism in the electrically assisted (EA)
deformation of nickel-based superalloys are still not fully elucidated up to now. To this end …

Application of electric current, while deforming the material is known to aid the deformation
process due to electroplastic effect. The experimentally observed behaviour during the …

Electroplasticity is defined as the reduction in flow stress of a material undergoing
deformation on passing an electrical pulse through it. The lowering of flow stress during …

A crystal plasticity model incorporating the effects of magnetoplasticity, electron-wind,
imbalance of charges near grain boundaries and Joule heating in high frequency short …

Many researchers have used a material response function termed “electroplasticity” to
account for the mechanical behavior of metals subjected to electric current during plastic …

Introducing electric current into metals and alloys to improve their ductility and to reduce the
hardening tendency has been widely adopted. Nevertheless, how the electricity affects the …

Electrically-assisted manufacturing (EAM) is used for forming difficult-to-form materials such
as the Ni-based superalloy in recent years. Compared to the hot deformation, EAM is a more …

Multi-mechanism coupled electroplasticity (EP) has not been fully elucidated yet due to the
difficulty in eliminating thermal effect, although isothermal, air-cooled, and cryogenic …

Electrically assisted (EA) forming has ubiquitous merits over room-temperature (RT) forming
and thermally aided forming for the fabrication of difficult-to-form microscale products …
