Room-Temperature Superplasticity in an Ultrafine-Grained Magnesium Alloy

Abstract Superplasticity, a phenomenon of high tensile elongation in polycrystalline materials, is highly effective in fabrication of complex parts by metal forming without any machining. Superplasticity typically occurs only at elevated homologous temperatures, where thermally-activated deformation...
