Although the advantages of formability are notable, blow-forming processes, which are
classified as sheet metal stretching processes, present limits in terms of uniformity of the …

Superplastic forming has drawn growing interest from both automotive and aeronautical
fields. It allows to decrease the weight of the product by eliminating fasteners because it can …

Superplastic forming (SPF) is a net-thinning sheet metal forming process that allows to
achieve very complex geometries; nevertheless, due to its deformation mechanics, it is …

Superplastic forming is a hot forming process to manufacture components characterized by
a complex shape. The ability of the material to deform depends on the process parameters …

Featured Application The presented approach may be applied in manufacturing firms that
use superplastic materials to have information on the adopted materials. Abstract For about …

This work investigated the influence of the strain distribution on the material formability
during hot free bulging of circular metal sheet. The strain distribution was altered by carrying …

This work proposes a simple procedure to characterize 1.0 mm thick sheets of superplastic
magnesium alloy AZ31. The simplest mathematical function that models the behavior of a …

Lighter and lighter products are required by aerospace and automotive sectors in order to
reduce fuel cost and carbon dioxide emissions and, to allow using green energy propulsion …

Featured Application This paper presents the design of the thickness of a blank to
manufacture a formed product with a more uniform thickness. A more uniform thickness in a …

This is the third expert-level book from the same research group, all published by Springer
Verlag under its series 'Materials Research and Engineering'(edited by (late) Prof. Dr …
