Stress relaxation in the presence of sudden strain bursts: Methodology and stress relaxation data of microcast aluminium microwires.

ABSTRACT: This data article presents a methodology and the corresponding code developed to perform and process stress relaxation tests where samples display superimposed (i) classical, continuous logarithmic relaxation together with (ii) sudden displacements manifest as abrupt stress decreases. The method extracts the activation area characteristic of the thermally activated mechanism that drives continuous plastic deformation in the material. We report stress relaxation data appertaining to as-cast (27) and annealed (2) aluminium microwires produced through a microcasting process. For an interpretation and discussion of the data on annealed microwires the reader is referred to " The effect of size on the plastic deformation of annealed cast aluminium microwires" (Verheyden et al., In Press) [1].
