Friction stir welding of commercially available superplastic aluminium
… and obtain the best possible microstructure for superplastic Forming (SPF). Therefore the main goal is to produce friction stir welds which do not fail during subsequent SPF processes. The friction stir welds have been created using novel tools which are oversized for the material thickness used; …

A study of the role of friction in superplastic blow forming of alloy sheet
Superplastic forming (SPF) is a manufacturing process whereby certain materials, under specific temperatures and strain rates, exhibit high ductility resulting in large deformations. Superplastic forming has found a wide application in industry, especially in the aerospace sector for the …

Segregation and embrittlement in metallic interfaces : bounds, models, and trends
… hardness [1], wear resistance [2], and superplastic forming behavior [3], in addition to changes in many other properties. These materials are thus of technological interest as structural materials. However, the excess free energy associated with grain boundary formation drives rapid …

An energy and environmental analysis of aerospace sheet metal part manufacturing
… is the introduction of a new incremental sheet forming (ISF) technology called RAFFT, which substitutes heavy part specific dies for flexible generic tools but with a slower processing rate. The analysis has two sections. The first section analyzes the current aerospace sheet forming …
