Abstract
Effects of electric pulse duration and relative peak temperature on mechanical properties were studied by high precision electrically assisted (EA) tension test, and microstructures were observed by metallographic analysis. The results indicated that higher temperature generated by longer electric pulse duration resulted in more reduction in tensile strength. Higher temperature peak generates lower stress recovery at the same prestrain level. When the peak temperature was over than 600℃, stress recovery decreased by 50%, which was nearly the initial yield strength under regular tension test. Recrystallization and grain growth were observed on the specimen after EA tension. Grain refinement and dendritic growth occurred near the fracture area.
