Historically, metals exhibit superplasticity only while forming in a two-phase field because a two-phase microstructure helps ensure a fine, stable grain size. In the U-5.8 Nb alloy, superplastici ty exists for up to 2 h in the single phase field (γ1) at 670°C. This is above the equilibrium monotectoid temperature of 647°C. Utilizing dilatometry, the superplastic (SP) U-5.8 Nb alloy requires superheating to 658°C to initiate the α+γ2 → γ1 transformation at a heating rate of 1.5°C/s. Hence, the U-5.8 Nb alloy exhibits an anomolous superplastic behavior.

Abstract SP 700 is a high strength, beta-rich alpha-beta titanium alloy. It was developed with the following attributes: (1) excellent hot- and cold-workability; (2) enhanced hardenability with a wide range of mechanical properties that can be obtained by heat treatment; and (3) superior superplastic behavior at low temperature (around 1050 K). This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, microstructure, elasticity, tensile properties, and bend strength. It also includes information on high temperature performance as well as heat treating. Filing Code: TI-107. Producer or source: NKK Corporation.

Equal-channel angular pressing (ECAP) is a convenient processing method for refining the grain size of bulk materials to the submicrometer level. Metallic alloys processed by ECAP often exhibit excellent superplastic characteristics including superplasticity at high strain rates. This paper summarizes recent experiments designed to evaluate the occurrence of superplasticity in representative aluminum and magnesium alloys and in the Zn-22% Al eutectoid alloy.

A Cu-0.87%Cr-0.06%Zr alloy was subjected to equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) at a temperature of 400 °C up to a total strain of ~ 12. This processing produced ultra-fine grained (UFG) structure with an average grain size of 0.6 μm and an average dislocation density of ~4×1014 m-2. Tensile tests were carried out in the temperature interval 450 – 650 °C at strain rates ranging from 2.8´10-4 to 0.55 s-1. The alloy exhibits superplastic behavior in the temperature interval 550 – 600 °C at strain rate over 5.5´10-3 s-1. The highest elongation-to-failure of ~300% was obtained at a temperature of 575 °C and a strain rate of 2.8´10-3 s-1 with the corresponding strain rate sensitivity of 0.32. It was shown the superplastic flow at the optimum conditions leads to limited grain growth in the gauge section. The grain size increases from 0.6 μm to 0.87 μm after testing, while dislocation density decreases insignificantly to ~1014 m-2.

Friction Stir Welding of Ti-6Al-4V was performed on 5 mm thickness plate in order to assess the affect of welding conditions on the resulting microstructure and superplastic forming behavior of the joints. A variety of welding conditions were tested and all welds were subsequently Superplastically formed. It was found that the weld parameters do influence the microstructure and degree of superplastic performance of the joints. Spindle speed was found to have the most dominant affect on the resulting microstructure and superplastic forming behavior. Low spindle speed welds lead to fine grained microstructures and highly superplastic welds, relative to the base material, while high spindle speed welds larger grained microstructures and less superplastic welds.
