Abstract

The effect of direct electric current on the serrated deformation of the aluminum-magnesium alloy 5056 has been studied using the acoustic emission method and high-speed video filming of propagating deformation bands. The phenomenon of the electric current-induced suppression of low-frequency acoustic emission signals has been revealed in the range of 1 Hz–2 kHz, which is connected with the development of Portevin-Le Chatelier deformation bands. The characteristic times of damping and growth of plastic instabilities and acoustic signals caused by them after current turn-on and turn-off, respectively, have been estimated.
