Abstract
To clarify the mechanisms by-which current pulses affect plastic deformation, an electron-microscope study has been made of the evolution of the fine structure of steel Kh18N10T subjected to electrostimulated (current density 1200 MA/m2, frequency 200 Hz) and conventional wire-drawing at a speed of 1.88 m/sec with total reduction up to 58%. The evolution of the microstructure of steel during conventional plastic deformation of drawing is similar to that produced by conventional drawing and simultaneous current pulses. Quantitative characteristics of microstructure such as scalar dislocation density, azimuthal disorientation, and distance between subboundaries have been measured and statistically evaluated. The effect of the current is connected with the reduction of the scalar dislocation density and partial recovery of the substructure. Proposed models are supported by the data on microplastic deformation.
