Abstract
Herein, the mechanisms of the electroplastic effect (EPE) in different hexagonal close-packed (hcp) metals under varying loading conditions and current densities through the analysis of flow curves and microstructural changes are investigated. The investigations show a significant change in the forming behavior of the hcp materials as a result of superimposed electric current impulses. This behavior could be attributed to two effects. On the one hand, additional dislocation types are activated; on the other hand, new characteristic twin bands are formed. This is shown for all three hcp materials under investigation: Ti, Mg, and Zn. Furthermore, the hypothesis of the existence of a critical value of the current density at which a significant change in the plastic behavior occurs is verified by the experiments. The magnitude of this critical value for the analyzed hcp materials corresponds approximately to the theoretical values reported to be in the range of 1.6 to 2.0 kA mm−2. In addition to the current density, the duration of the pulses also has an influence on the EPE. Understanding the correlation between the individual activated deformation mechanisms during electric pulse treatment can be crucial for controlling the electroplastic forming processes in a systematic and targeted manner.
