摘要：The scaling behavior of the Portevin-Le Chatelier (PLC) effect is studied by deforming a
substitutional alloy, Al-2.5%Mg and an interstitial alloy, low carbon steel (0.15%C, 0.33%Mn,
0.04%P, 0.05%S, 0.15%Si and rest Iron) at room temperature for a wide range of strain rates.
To reveal the exact scaling nature, the time series data of true stress vs. time, obtained during
the tensile deformation (corrected for drift due to strain hardening by polynomial fitting
method), are analyzed by two complementary methods: the standard deviation analysis and the
diffusion entropy analysis. From these analyses we could establish that in the entire span of
strain rates, PLC effect showed Levy walk type of scaling property.
