Therefore the effect of different complex strain paths on behavior of CuSi3.5 silicon bronze has been investigated. The strain paths contain various sequences of cyclic torsion and monotonic tension were applied. The amplitude was changed in the range of 0.01-0.6, temperature 20-800 °C and strain rate O.Ol-I s _,_ The platic properties and structure obtained in complex strain paths were compared with those gained in monotonic torsion and tensile tests. The silicon bronze containing about 3.5 % Si has a very low stacking fault energy, therefore in the mechanism of complex deformation the twinnings and crystalographic slip play the imporatant role. The strain paths similar to those applied in the experiments are observed in some industrial processes. By proper chosen of the strain path the control of the flow stress and the limit strain can be obtained.}, type={Article}, title={The Effect of Complex Strain Path on the Behaviour of CuSi3.5 Silicon Bronze}, URL={http://czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/131743/PDF-MASTER/7_METALLURGY_48_4_Gronostajski_EFFECT.pdf}, }
