A Lüder band is a localized band of plastic deformation that can occur on some materials before fracture.
These bands can arise from residual stresses due to welding.
Lüder bands often are a result of strain aging by discontinuous yielding and can be commercially important for producing wrinkled lined finishes.
It happens on low carbon steels and some Al-Mg Alloys.
