Abstract
Specific features of the deformation characteristics of a Zn-Al-Cu alloy have been studied using nontraditional methods of plastic deformation, which enable low-temperature deformation to be implemented. When using a weak magnetic field and a direct electric current applied simultaneously, a strong macroplastic effect has been revealed upon active deformation of the alloy. In the absence of a magnetic field, the macroplastic effects have been considerably lower. A possible explanation of the observed effects has been offered.
