MILESTONE ACHIEVEMENTS THAT HAVE ADVANCED THE TECHNOLOGY OF SUPERPLASTICITY INCLUDE THE DEVELOPMENT OF COMMERCIAL SUPERPLASTIC MATERIALS BASED ON NICKEL, TITANIUM, IRON, AND ALUMINUM ALLOYS. THE FUTURE DIRECTIONS OF SUPERPLASTICITY WILL CERTAINLY CONTINUE TO EMPHASIZE THESE EXISTING COMMERCIAL AREAS, BUT THERE ARE NEW ONES THAT WILL RECEIVE CONSIDERABLE ATTENTION. IN PARTICULAR, SUPERPLASTICITY IN CERAMICS, CERAMIC COMPOSITES, INTERMETALLICS, AND METAL MATRIX COMPOSITES WILL ATTRACT TREMENDOUS INTEREST. ADDITIONALLY, SUPERPLASTIC BEHAVIOR HAS BEEN DISCOVERED AT VERY HIGH STRAIN RATES IN METALLIC ALLOYS, IN METAL MATRIX COMPOSITES, AND IN MECHANICALLY ALLOYED MATERIALS.
