Superplastic forming (SPF) is a technique that takes advantage of metallic alloys with fine grain size presenting very high ductility and large deformations before rupture under certain conditions. There is a growing ...

Magnesium base alloys have reached an important development as structural materials the last years due to its good strength/weight relationship. On the other hand, superplastic forming has also acquired a technological ...

The dependence of the superplastic flow on the efficiency of grain boundaries for capturing and releasing vacancies is demonstrated. It is emphasized that this flow is dependent mostly on the sensitivity of this ability ...

In this work, the effect of Aluminum on the superplastic behavior at low temperatures of three wrought Mg-Al-Zn alloys has been investigated. The magnesium alloys were processed by hydrostatic extrusion (HE). This ...
