Mechanistic Studies of Superplasticity of Structural Ceramics

Abstract

A comprehensive methodology for developing superplastic ceramics, evaluating superplastic formability, and understanding microstructural evolution and flow mechanisms during large deformation has been developed in the present project. A summary of these accomplishments, which focuses on two important classes of structural ceramics, zirconia and silicon nitride, is provided here in the form of nine published journal papers, conference contributions and general reviews. Ceramics, Superplasticity, Forming, Zirconia, Silicon Nitride
