Superplastic Forming Special Topics
Location: Meeting Room 12A (Austin Convention Center)
(Please check final room assignments on-site).
Session Description: This session has been established for technical papers related to special topics in Superplastic Forming of aluminum, titanium and other materials. Some sample topics for this session might include: - recent innovations in SPF and SPF/DB - historical perspectives in SPF manufacturing - strength and fatigue behavior of Superplastic materials - microstructural evolution during SPF - Friction Stir Welding (FSW) combined with SPF
