Postuniform

Quick meaning: Postuniform is an adjective meaning (metallurgy) Pertaining to the state where elongation is a function of the strainrate hardening exponent determined near maximum load.

Meaning

(metallurgy) Pertaining to the state where elongation is a function of the strainrate hardening exponent determined near maximum load.

Example Sentences

However, excess boron is desirable for improving postuniform elongation because it suppresses carbide precipitation at the grain boundary.

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.

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].
