Interest in the phenomenon of superplasticity has been increasing steadily over the past thirty-four years, both from the viewpoint of fundamental scientific understanding as well as of industrial application. The scope of superplasticity has also broadened materials-wise, and now includes, in addition to metals: intermetallics, ceramics, bulk metallic glasses, nanostructured materials and composites.

Deformation and annealing phenomena are of great technical significance to the processing and application of materials at the industrial scale. This edited collection of peer-reviewed papers was designed as a one-off vehicle for reviewing the current understanding of the basic mechanisms and processes that control deformation and annealing in various materials, together with their modelling and simulation. Another aim was to facilitate discussion of the failings of established theories, to explore new ideas, and to identify avenues where future research is required. The present papers apply these concepts to a wide range of materials and applications; from conventional steels and light alloys to nanocrystalline gold wires and geological samples.

Description: This immense 4 volume set comprises 495 peer-reviewed papers, divided into four parts: Magnesium (Part 1), Aluminum Alloys (Part 2), Aerospace Materials (Part 3) and Superconducting and Functional Materials (Part 4).
