Summary and Future work
• Objective and experimental:
- DP HEA: HCP(brittle) + FCC → Increasing plasticity by electric current
- Pre strain 후, 100A/mm2 , 0.1s의 pulse 전류 인가 실시 → 성형성 평가
• Results
- DP HEA Al1%: 연신율 2.6% 증가(38.3 → 39.9)
- DP HEA: 연신율 3.6% 증가(96.5 → 80.1)
• Discussion
- 100~115 A/mm2, 1~6 pulse로 인한 annealing은 268 373 도는 상변화를유
발하기에 충분하지 않음
- 전류 pulse로 인한 annealing(268℃, 373 ℃)으로 인한 연신율 소폭 증가
- 통전 성형을 통한성형성 증가 가능성확인
• Future work
- In-situ 통전 실험(지속적인 annealing 효과) 조건에서의 성형성 평가
