Behavior of lateral-deformation coefficients during elastoplastic deformation of metals

Аннотация

The results of investigations into variation of the coefficients of lateral deformation (the Poisson ratio) during single-axis tension of samples of steel 12Kh18N10T and St3, titanium VT1, the aluminum alloy D16AM, copper M1, and a magnesium alloy are considered. The technique developed on the basis of the optoacoustic effect and simultaneous measurements of the longitudinal and surface speeds of sound in metallic samples during the tension makes it possible to measure the rates at various stages of the deformation process. The data obtained make it possible to construct the dependences of variation of the lateral-deformation coefficients at all stages of the plastic flow. The correlation of these variations both with known processes of structural reconstructions at various stages of plastic flow and with the process of localization of plastic-shear bands in the aluminum alloy is noted.
