Abstract
The influence of electropulsing on the damage of 1045 steel was studied. The results show that electropulsing can substantially increase the strength and ductility of the damaged material, with a little decrease of the Martensite hardness. After the treatment of electropulsing, the microstructure around the crack is modified, and the new structure can prevent the crack from growing. The healing effect of electropulsing on crack is discussed. It is thought that the temperature and thermal compressive stress caused by electropulsing are the main factors causing the healing effect.
