Abstract

Recent progress in high-strain-rate superplastic forming of aluminum metal-matrix composites has highlighted the potential of these materials for the mass production of complex shapes. This article reviews the current scientific understanding of this subject and identifies the areas where future work is needed to develop the technology to the manufacturing stage.
