Optimum superplastic properties were obtained for temperatures in the interval 960℃≤5 T≤5980℃. The apparent activation energy in the superplastic regime was determined and the deformation mechanism was also discussed. Based on the studies, a curve panel with three sheets sandwich structure was fabricated successfully. The microstructures corresponding to different strain in the part were also studied.展开更多
