Abstract

An investigation into the effects, including the athermal effect, of a pulsed current on AZ31B magnesium alloy was carried out. Different peak current densities were applied at the same temperature under uniaxial tensile testing. The results indicate that the stress reduction caused by the increasing peak current density is independent of temperature. The strain hardening coefficient also shows a similar trend. The fracture strain shows the optimum value due to the current crowding effect.

Keywords: electroplasticity; magnesium alloy; peak current density; uniaxial tensile test
