...Xiaolong Bai; Andrew B. Kustas; James B. Mann; Srinivasan Chandrasekar; Kevin P. Trumble Shear-based deformation processing by hybrid cutting-extrusion and free machining are used to make continuous strip, of thickness up to 1 mm, from low-workability AA6013-T6 in a single deformation step...

..., the effects of the electricity seem to diminish with increasing strain rate, in some cases. The electron flow also increases the workability of the metals, allowing them to be compressed to higher strains before fracturing. Furthermore, the electricity aids manufacturing processes by allowing the material...
