Superplasticity and Superplastic Forming
Abstract
Superplasticity is the ability of a material to exhibit extensive tensile elongation. its utilization can be realized through superplastic forming which is regarded as an enabling near-net shape manufacturing technique. the microstructural requirements for superplasticity are varied-most important being finer grain size. a number of processing techniques have been developed for producing superplastic materials. Grain boundary sliding, which is the predominant mechanism for superplasticity, is discussed in the framework of various theoretical models. an extensive review of superplastic properties is presented for a wide range of materials, including light alloys, ferrous alloys, intermetallics, ceramics, and metallic glasses. Increased use of superplastic forming would be possible through the utilization of high strain rate and low temperature superplastic properties and the introduction of innovative forming concepts.
