Micro forming characteristics of A15083 superplastic alloy

Micro forming is a well suited technology to manufacture very small metallic parts, in particular for mass production, as they are required in many industrial products resulting from micro technology. A15083 superplastic alloy have a great advantage in achieving deformation under low stress compared to conventional plastic deformation. This paper describes the basic characteristics of micro forming of A15083 superplastic alloy. Self-designed micro forging system with (100) silicon dies used to micro forming characteristic test of A15083 superplastic alloy.
