L f R A  (2) where: A – mean value of oscillation in the given interval of deformation, f – the frequency of the occurrence of oscillation. The coefficients R L , A and f were calculated by analyzing fragments of the curves  -ε in the range of deformation (ε x ) of about 10% preceding the rupture of the sample. It has been found that the higher the values of the coefficient R L and therefore also the amplitude ( A) and frequency of serration ( f ), the higher is the instability of plastic deformation PLC. The application of this method for the purpose of assessing quantitatively the PLC effect in tensile tests at elevated temperature is, however, restricted due to the insufficient precision of measurements of the recorded quantities , mainly the values of the load and the deformation of the tested samples.
