Electroplastic manufacturing processing (EPMP) is a relatively new metal-forming process
that is energy efficient, environmentally friendly, and versatile. In particular, it can be used to …

Electropulsing induced dissolution of β-Mg17Al12 phase was investigated using scanning
electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and hardness tests. It was found that compared with …

The processing of materials using electrical pulses utilises effects other than resistive
heating to stimulate changes in their microstructure and hence the properties. The direct …

Duplex stainless steels suffer from thermal aging embrittlement that results from severe
phase decomposition in ferrite phase after a long-term service at temperatures of 550–700 …

Passing one electric current pulse through deformed pearlitic steel wires at room
temperature causes the formation of cementite particles around 30 nm in size. This is found …

A priori derivation for the extra free energy caused by the passing electric current in metal is
presented. The analytical expression and its discrete format in support of the numerical …

Nanostructures were formed in several conventional materials under single electropulsing,
that is nanophases of α-Cu (Zn) and β′-(CuZn) in a cold-worked α-Cu (Zn) alloy, nanosized …

Carbide precipitation and distribution always significantly affect the mechanical properties of
High-speed Steel (HSS). Thus, the effect of electropulsing treatment (EPT) on the …

The hot rolled 2024 Al alloy subjected to electropulsing was investigated in this study. The
results show that the electropulsing treated sample with optimized parameter exhibits …

With appropriate electropulsing parameters, the microstructure of steels can be manipulated
towards a state that possesses favourable physical, mechanical and chemical properties …
