Aermet100 ultra-high strength steel (UHSS) is one of the highest strength-plasticity-matched metallic materials. It is widely used in critical load-bearing components in aerospace and weaponry. Compared to traditional forging processes, electropulsing assisted forming technology significantly enhances manufacturing efficiency and forming limits. Particularly in the forming of hard-to-deform materials into complex structures, it demonstrates significant application potential. However, quantitative studies on the decoupling of electron wind effects during high-temperature deformation and their impact on microstructural evolution, deformation mechanisms, and mechanical properties remain few reported, resulting in limiting the ability to select optimal process parameters in electropulsing assisted forming technology to precisely control material structure and properties. In this paper, the impact of varying degrees of electron wind effects on flow stress through high-temperature compression tests was investigated. The evolution of the microstructure was analyzed in conjunction with the thermodynamic and kinetic mechanisms of recrystallization. Moreover, the hitherto unexplained relationship between the activation of slip systems and texture components in Aermet100 UHSS is examined. Results indicate that with the enhancement of the electron wind effect, the flow stress of Aermet100 UHSS is reduced by 59.4 %. The electron wind effect not only reduces the activation energy for recrystallization but also enhances vacancy concentration, dislocation climb diffusion flux, and driving force, thus promoting continuous dynamic recrystallization. Furthermore, as the intensity of the electron wind effect increases to 0.85 Ew and above, S and Brass textures are observed for the first time. It is notable that the Dillamore texture, Brass texture, and S texture respectively activate specific slip systems (1‾ 10)[11 1‾], (0 1‾1‾)[11 1‾] and (110)[1‾ 11‾] during the hot deformation process of Aermet100 UHSS. This investigation sheds new insight into tailoring high temperature electroplasticity by regulating electron wind effects.
