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

Electrically assisted deformation (EAD) was adopted in this work to overcome the
shortcomings such as poor formability and easy cracking in the processing of dual-phase …

Titanium alloy formability can be noticeably improved by electrically assisted processing. In
this study, uniaxial electropulsing-assisted microtensile (EAMT) tests were performed on a …

Creep mechanism was well-known to be mainly dominated by the dislocation sliding and
climbing during creep deformation. Here we study the creep deformation of an Al-Cu-Li alloy …

Abstract Effect of electric current on precipitation hardening for advanced high-strength steel
is investigated based on mechanical testing and microscopic observation. Complex-phase …

We found that remarkable martensitic transformation occurs during electrochemical
polishing (EP) in 16Cr-5Ni metastable austenitic stainless steel. It was observed through …
