Superplastic forming consists in forming a workpiece within a specific range of process parameters: temperature being close to half of the fusion temperature, very low strain rate, fine and homogeneous microstructure. In this process pressure is applied by a gaz in order to obtain the final geometry.
FORGE® addresses regular superplastic forming as well was superplastic forming combined with diffusion bonding.
