To investigate the effects of pulsed current on the mechanical behavior of nanocrystalline
foil materials, nanocrystalline nickel foils with different characteristic dimensions
(thickness/grain size) were prepared and subjected to current-assisted tensile
experiments. The experimental results indicate that without the application of
current, the Ni foil exhibits a significant size effect. After applying pulsed current, in
addition to a decrease in tensile strength and an increase in elongation, the size effect
is also weakened. Furthermore, it was also found that the tensile strength, elongation,
and size effect of the foil materials are not only related to the current density but are
also closely associated with the direction of current application. When the direction
of the current is aligned with the deformation direction, the reduction in the size
effect of the foil materials is most pronounced, and the electroplastic effect is most
significant. Finally, a parameter describing the pulsed current was introduced into
the Johnson–Cook constitutive model, and a phenomenological constitutive
model capable of describing the size effect of nanocrystalline Ni foils was
established.
