Superplasticity and Superplastic Forming: Proceedings of an International Conference on Superplasticity and Superplastic Forming Held in Blaine, Washington on 1-4 August 1988

Abstract

Over the past 15 to 20 years, superplasticity has progressed from a laboratory curiosity to become utilized on a world-wide basis through superplastic forming processes in the manufacture of parts for many types of applications, ranging from aerospace to architectural. Recent work has demonstrated that superplasticity can be observed in many types of material systems, including ceramics, metal-matrix composites, and intermetallic compounds, as well as in alloys. The science and technology of superplasticity and superplastic forming are both intriguing and challenging, and the potential benefits to be gained through continuing research and development have caused this to be an area of vital interest. Contents: Microstructural Dynamics; Rheology and Cavitation; Fundamentals of Forming; Alloy Design; SPF Methods and Diffusion Bonding; and Design and Concepts and Future Directions.
