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.
