Abstract
This chapter describes the fundamentals behind electroplasticity in metals. Specifically, it focuses on electrical current flow, previous electroplastic theories, and an overall explanation of the electroplastic effect on metals. This overall theory will be supported with experimental results, and electroplastic conclusions will be drawn at the end of the chapter.
