Superplastic forming

...multiple parts to be formed in one cycle, but this technique needs careful design and control of production parameters. Re-entrant parts produced using split tooling and sliding surfaces, but with increase in die cost and cycle times. Pressures depend on material and component size and geometry: 350–1500 kPa is typical for aluminium alloys using special presses. Has...
