Analysis of the Hardening Process of Metals, Taking into Account Variations in Structural Parameters

Abstract

The influence of structural parameters (the dislocation density, the presence and concentration of defects, external elastic field, and temperature) on the nature of the hardening process in aluminum single crystals is considered. The macrophenomenon of hardening is represented as a power dependence of the strain resistance on the accumulated deformation, and microphenomena that characterize the motion of dislocations are based on the analysis of the inhomogeneous sine-Gordon equation with the variations of different structural parameters.
