Deformation of copper under the action of strong magnetic fields and cryogenic temperatures

Abstract

Results are presented for an experimental study of the effect of a strong constant and pulsed magnetic field on the mechanical characteristics and deformation features of copper M1 at 293–4.2 K. Dependences have been obtained for the increase in specimen strain on the intensity of a pulsed magnetic field and flow stress, and possibilities have been studied for increasing the effectiveness of pulsedmagnetic deformation of metals. A calculation relationship is suggested for determining the critical stress level under strong skin-effect conditions of a magnetic field.
