Review from Ringgold Inc., ProtoView:
The first of the 42 selected and peer-reviewed papers places the conference in the context of 75 years of research in superplasticity. The others cover industrial applications with innovations; materials processing methods to enhance superplasticity; numerical simulations and modeling; superplasticity in metal alloys; and microstructure control and evolution, mechanisms of grain boundary sliding, and failure. Among topics of specific papers are manufacturing a titanium spherical and hollow cylinder vessel using blow forming, friction stir processing commercial grade marine alloys to enable superplastic forming, the role of numerical simulation in superplastic forming process analysis and optimization, whether superplasticity is needed for large deformability of wrought magnesium alloys, and analyzing grain-boundary sliding with rotating hexagonal particles.
