This book describes the fundamentals and potential applications
of friction stir superplasticity for unitized structures .
Conventional superplastic forming of sheets is limited to the
thickness of 3 mm because the fine grained starting material is
produced by rolling. Friction stir superplasticity has grown
rapidly in the last decade because of the effectiveness of
microstructural refinement. The thickness of the material remains
almost constant, and that allows for forming of thick
sheets/plates, which was not possible before. The field has reached
a point where designers have opportunities to expand the extent of
unitized structures, which are structures in which the traditional
primary part and any supporting structures are fabricated as a
single unit. With advanced optimization and material
considerations, this class of structures can be lighter weight and
more efficient, making them less costly, as well as mechanically
less complex, reducing areas of possible failure.
Discusses how friction stir processing allows selective
microstructural refinement without thickness changeDemonstrates how
higher thickness sheets and plates can be superplastically
formedExamples are presented for aluminum, magnesium and titanium
alloysCovers the production of low-cost unitized structures by
selectively processing cast sheets/plates "
