摘要：

Is Superplastic forming technology standing on the threshold of breaking out of its niche markets to become a "main stream" volume manufacturing process? To answer this question it is important to understand the techno-economics and price sensitivities of processing, tooling and superplastic materials. This paper examines the commercial success of Superplastic aluminum forming over the past twenty-five (25) years and the techno-economic barriers to be aware of for higher volume SPF production to become commercially viable. Key factors for possible future "rapid" Superplastic forming materials and processing techniques are also explored.
