Abstract
Many superplastic aluminum matrix composites with discontinuous reinforcements have been developed. The processing was developed to produce very small grain sizes of 1 to approximately 4 μm and the fine-grained composites showed superplastic behavior at high strain rates (>10-2 s-1). A liquid phase probably plays a vital role in superplastic deformation for the composites. The role of a liquid phase in superplastic deformation is discussed.
