Abstract

The influence of the structural and phase state in nanocrystalline and amorphous alloys, as well as the pulsed current modes, on the electroplastic effect is studied under their tension. The decreasing grain size to nanoscale, the emergence of secondary phases, and amorphization in alloys cause the attenuation or disappearance of the electroplastic effect. The application of current pulses upon tension of alloys with a reversible thermoelastic martensitic transformation suppresses the step down of stress on the tensile diagrams caused by the electroplastic effects, but activates the jump up of stress attributed to the shape memory effect.
