Example Sentences
- "This produces a more uniform strain distribution. This is of special significance in the postuniform elongation region, where necking and high strain concentrations occur. An approximately linear relationship has been found between the m value and postuniform elongation for various steels and nonferrous alloys [17]."
- "Deformation continues during postuniform strain in the neck and initiates microvoid formation around hard particles such as inclusions and carbides, leading eventually to ductile fracture surfaces characterized by coalesced microvoids."
- "However, excess boron is desirable for improving postuniform elongation because it suppresses carbide precipitation at the grain boundary."
