In the preface to the first edition of Tensile Testing, editor Patricia Han wrote “Our vision for
this book was to provide a volume that could serve not only as an introduction for those who …

A 'Two-Stage Deformation Method'was proposed to enhance the superplasticity of Mg–3Al–
1Zn (AZ31) alloy sheet. This method exploited the capability of the material to undergo …

A preliminary investigation of thermomechanical processing of 5083 aluminum plate (Al-
4.7% Mg-0.7% Mn) was undertaken to develop a fine-grain sheet for superplastic forming …

Recrystallization and grain growth studies of Al-Mg-X (where X is Mn, Zr or Sc) alloys have
been carried out using a combination of optical and transmission electron microscopy of …

A simple one-dimensional model is proposed for predicting the effects of grain boundary
migration (GBM) occurring during hot compression testing of polycrystalline specimens …

General Motors has developed Quick Plastic Forming (QPF) as a hot blow forming process
capable of producing aluminum closure panels at high volumes. This technology has been …

The mechanical behavior of a superplastic Al–4.7% Mg–0.8% Mn–0.4% Cu alloy has been
characterized by a new type of step strain-rate test which preserves the initial microstructure …

An indirect squeeze casting process applied to a wrought 5083 Al alloy (Al–4.7 Mg–0.7 Mn)
was investigated experimentally and numerically. A two-dimensional finite element …

The effect of strain rate, temperature, and grain size on the cavitation of superplastically
deformed 7075Al alloys prepared by friction stir processing (FSP) was systematically …

The controlling deformation mechanisms and grain boundary sliding behavior during low-,
medium-, and high-temperature superplasticity (LTSP, MTSP, and HTSP) in fine-grained …
