Superplasticity. Revision

Abstract

Superplasticity has been transformed from a metallurgical curiosity to an important production process, particularly for low-to-medium production runs of components for the aerospace industry. The whole spectrum of superplasticity was originally covered in Lecture Series 154 in the autumn of 1987, but such are the rapid advances in this technology, that the series is re- presented, with the same speakers updating their lectures to give those attending the latest information on this most relevant technology and its impact upon the manufacture methods employed for components for aerospace applications. Keywords: Metal products; Metal working; Joining; Forming techniques; Manufacturing; NATO furnished. (aw)
