In this paper, the effects of temperature and initial strain rate on the superplasticity of as-received Ti2AlNb alloy were studied by uniaxial tensile tests. Temperature from 870°C to 1030°C with an interval of 40°C and initial strain rate range of 10-2s-1to 10-4s-1were selected. The optimal superplasticity of 190.3% was obtained at 990°C with initial strain rate of 10-3s-1. The superplastic properties were deteriorated at 1030°C due to serious grain coarsening. In order to improve superplastic properties, the as-received alloy was hydrogenated with different hydrogen contents. It was found that hydrogen addition can significantly decrease flow stress and increase elongation. A higher elongation occurs at 910°C in hydrogenated alloy.

The aim of the present investigation was to determine and to compare the superplastic behaviour of the AA5083 (Al-Mg-Mn) alloy with Sc and Zr additions. The investigated alloys were processed to form sheets by conventional hot and cold rolling. The superplastic properties were determined with strain rates in the range of 1x10-4to 5x10-2s-1and forming temperatures of 350 to 550°C. The results showed that the alloy with about 0.4% Sc exhibited a high superplastic ductility across a wide temperature range and strain rates up to 1x10-2s-1. The highest elongations to failure of about 2000% were attained at 550°C and at an initial strain rate of 5x10-3s-1. However, the alloy with about 0.15% Zr exhibited elongations up to 600%. The FSP processed Al-4.5Mg alloy with combined addition of about 0.2% Sc and 0.15% Zr exhibited good superplastic properties at higher strain rates (> 1x10-2s-1) with elongations up to 1500%.

Nanocrystalline pure nickel (nc-Ni) was produced by pulse electrodeposition and its superplastic properties at and above room temperature were investigated. The electrodeposited nickel has a narrow grain size distribution with a mean grain size of 70nm. Uniaxial tensile tests at room temperature showed that nc-Ni has a limited plasticity but high tensile strength up to 1GPa at strain rates between 10-5 and 10-2s-1. However, when the temperature increased to 420 and higher, test specimens showed uniform deformation and the elongation value was larger than 200%. A maximum elongation value of 380% was observed at 450°C and a strain rate of 1.67x10-3s-1, SEM and TEM were used to examine the microstructures of the as-deposited and deformed specimens. The results indicated that fracture was caused by intergranular cracking and most cracks were originated from the brittle oxide formed during the tensile test. Grain coarsening was observed in the deformed specimen. The role of temperature and strain on grain growth was evaluated by comparing the microstructure of deformed samples with that of samples statically annealed. Deformation mechanism was discussed based upon the deformed microstructure and strain rate jump tests.

The superplastic behavior of a commercial aluminum alloy denoted as 1570 Al with a chemical composition of Al-6%Mg-0.5%Mn-0.2%Sc-0.07%Zr (in wt. %) and ultrafine-grained (UFG) structure produced by equal channel angular pressing at 300°C to a true strain ~12 was studied after final cold or warm rolling. The tensile specimens were machined along rolling direction and pulled up to failure in the temperature range of 250 to 500°C at strain rates ranging from 10-4 s-1 to 10-1 s-1. The specimens produced by warm or cold rolling exhibit different superplastic behavior. The material subjected to warm rolling exhibits excellent superplastic properties; the highest elongation-to-failure of ~1970% was recorded at a temperature of ~450°C and an initial strain rate of 1.4×10-1 s-1. On the other hand, the material subjected to cold rolling demonstrates moderate superplastic properties; the highest elongation-to-failure of ~755% appears at a temperature of ~300°C and an initial strain rate of 1.4×10-2 s-1.

In this work, studies were carried out to investigate the superplasticity of a commercially pure (CP) titanium alloy during high temperature deformation. Uniaxial tensile tests were carried out at 600, 750 and 800°C with an initial strain rate from 10-1s-1 to 10-4s-1. It was found that the alloy do not show good superplasticity due fast grain growth at high temperature and cavity. The effects of temperature on the grain growth and cavity phenomena as well as the dynamic recrystallization of the alloy were studied and a ‘two-step-method’ was introduced to increase the superplasticity of the alloy.

In this paper uniaxial tensile tests were carried out at temperature range of 650~810°C and initial strain rate range of 10-4~10-1s-1 to evaluate the superplasticity of as-casting aluminum-bronze QAl10-3-1.5 alloy. The superplastic forming technology (SPF) was adopted to produce solid-bearing cages made of aluminum-bronze QAl10-3-1.5 alloy. The results demonstrate that as-casting QAl10-3-1.5 copper alloy shows good superplasticity without prior-treatment. The maximum elongation of 545% is obtained at 790°C and initial strain rate of 1.0×10-2 s-1, while the maximum flow stress is only 12.4MPa. By using superplastic extrusion technology solid-bearing cages used in railway vehicles were obtained. As-extruded cages have good surface quality and the dimensional accuracy satisfies the design standards. Using this technology the production efficiency is greatly enhanced and the manufacturing cost is reduced, especially the expensive copper alloys are saved.

In this study, superplastic tensile tests were carried out for Ti-6Al-4V alloy using different initial grain sizes (2.6 μm, 6.5μm and 16.2 μm) at a temperature of 920°C with an initial strain rate of 1×10-3 s-1. To get an insight into the effect of grain size on the superplastic deformation mechanisms, the microstructures of deformed alloy were investigated by using an optical microscope and transmission electron microscope (TEM). The results indicate that there is dramatic difference in the superplastic deformation mode of fine and coarse grained Ti-6Al-4V alloy. Meanwhile, grain growth induced by superplastic deformation has also been clearly observed during deformation process, and the grain growth model including the static and strain induced part during superplastic deformation was utilized to analyze the data of Ti-6Al-4V alloy.

<p>Magnesium based alloy containing 9 wt. % Li, 1,5 wt. % Al, composed of a + b (hcp + bcc) phases was cast under argon atmosphere and extruded at 350<sup>o</sup>C. Up to 3 passes of Twist Channel Angular Pressing TCAP deformation was applied at 160<sup>o</sup>C. TCAP tool consisted of helical part in horizontal area of the channel with angle of lead γ = 30° to simulate back pressure. The initial grain size of hexagonal a phase estimated at 30 mm decreased in following passes down to 6 mm and that of bcc b phase decreased after TCAP from initial 12 mm down to 5 mm. TEM studies after TCAP passes showed higher dislocation density in the b region than in the a phase. Crystallographic relationship (001) a || (110) b indicated parallel positioning of slip planes of both phases. Electron diffraction confirmed increase of grain misorientation with number of TCAP passes. Stress/strain curves measured at temperature 200<sup>o</sup>C showed superplastic forming after 1<sup>st</sup> and 3<sup>rd</sup> TCAP pass. Values of strain rate sensitivity coefficient <em>m</em> were calculated at 0.31 after 1 TCAP pass and increased after 3<sup>rd</sup> TCAP pass up to 0.47 for the strain rate range 10<sup>-5</sup> – 5 10<sup>-4</sup>. Increase of number of TCAP passes had positive effect on superplastic properties due to finer grains and increase of their misorientation;</p>
