Superplastic metal forming

International Journal of Mechanical Sciences, 1970
Abstract Part I of this paper describes the phenomenon of superplasticity in metals and the behaviour of superplastic alloys in simple tension. The advantage of using these materials in forging processes and the possibility of developing, for superplastic alloys, vacuum forming, pressure forming and blow-moulding techniques similar to those used in ...

Superplasticity and superplastic forming of aluminum metal-matrix composites

JOM, 1992
Superplasticity hos been observed in many aluminum metal-matrix composites at extremely high strain rates (approximately 0.1–1 S−1). These materials generally exhibited a strain-rate sensitivity value of about 0.3 and a maximum elongation of about 300%.

Superplastic Forming

2003
An inherent limitation of conventional aluminum alloys is that they are unstable when plastically deformed by stretching which leads to catastrophic necking when tensile testing and limitations on uniform deformation during stretch forming under tensile stress.

Superplastic Metal Forming

1978
During the past ten years, superplastic metal forming has progressed from a laboratory curiosity to a practical, economical manufacturing technique. The chapter, describing that progression, consists of three parts: the development of the relationships between stress and strain rate of superplastic alloys, and the effects of strain hardening and ...

Superplastic Sheet Forming

2006
AbstractThis article discusses many of the processes and related considerations involved in the forming of superplastic sheet metal parts. It reviews the requirements for superplasticity and describes the characteristics of superplastic metals. The characterization of superplastic behavior includes the characterization of plastic flow, internal ...

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

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

Superplastic bulge forming of domes

Materials Science and Technology, 1993
AbstractAn experimental method has been developed to study the effects of different forming procedures, including constant pressure, constant apex velocity, constant apex strain rate (and, indeed, any arbitrary forming operation), on the strain rate sensitivity index m–log (strain rate ɛ) curve for the bulge forming of domes.

Superplastic Forming of Zirconia

1995
The development of the capability to plastically deform crystalline ceramic materials is a significant triumph for the materials science community. Studied since the 1950’s with relatively modest success, the science and technology of ceramic plasticity received a tremendous boost in 1986 with the pioneering experiments of Wakai et al who demonstrated ...

Superplastic Forming of Aerospace Materials

2016
This chapter discusses the phenomenon of superplasticity, as seen in different materials such as metals/alloys, intermetallics, ceramics, bulk metallic glasses and composites. The phenomenon of low temperature/high strain rate superplasticity is also briefly discussed. The various forming operations and the recent developments in forming processes like

Commercial applications of superplastic forming

Journal of Materials Processing Technology, 1997
Abstract Japanese commercial superplastic forming of Ti, Al alloys and duplex stainless steels started in 1989 by a joint venture. This was several years behind Europe and USA. The joint venture, however, found some unique applications which could not be seen in other countries, owing greatly to information available nowadays and also to excellent ...
