Abstract

Recent research and development on high-strain-rate superplasticity has led to the concept of an accommodation helper mechanism and a new opportunity for superplastic forging. In this article, works about processing for ultrafine-grained materials and deformation mechanisms and high-strain-rate superplasticity applications are reviewed.
