Electroplastic effect in cast Polycrystalline NaCl with various orientations of the electric field

摘要

The influence of various orientations and configurations of an electric field on the flow and fracture stresses in compres- sion of cast polycrystalline NaCl was determined at room temperature. An electric field of -0.1 MV/m reduced the flow and fracture stresses by -50/100, relatively independent of the orientation of the field.
