Abstract

Abstract : Superplastic formation technology is considered to be an effective and promising method to conquer formation difficulties of Al alloys, especially thin-walled or complex structure. In this paper, fundamentals of superplastic deformation of Al alloys are summarized and the superplastic deformation behaviors of main kinds of Al alloys are summarized and compared, including Al-Mg alloys, Al-Li alloys, and Al-Zn-Mg alloys as well as aluminum matrix composites. Then, the superplastic deformation mechanism for different Al alloys is thoroughly discussed. Last but not the least, the factors affecting the superplastic deformation process are fully analyzed.
