... electroplasticity forgeability magnesium AZ31B When planning a forging manufacturing process, two major considerations are the amount of deformation a material can withstand and the part complexity that can be achieved prior to failure. Coupled with these considerations are the required forces and energy...

... of applying energy is desired. This paper investigates material property changes of various metals (aluminum, copper, iron, and titanium based alloys) in response to the flow of electricity. Theory involving electromigration and electroplasticity is examined and the implications thereof are analyzed...
