Superplasticity is shown to be a universal phenomenon in
materials ranging from metals and intermetallics to
ceramics. Superplastic deformation facilitates the
production of materials with specifically chosen properties.
This is illustrated using the examples of Mg-, Al-, and
Ti-based commercial alloys, steels, and superalloys.
Some of the strenghts of this book are: the broad range of
materials studied, the reduction of scientific results to a
form suitable for the practitioner, a profound physical
analysis of the phenomenon, a new approach to superplastic
treatment as a kind of strain-heat treatment, the
presentation of new data on superplastic flow and on
production techniques of micro- and submicrocrystalline
structures.
