Superplasticity is the ability of a polycrystalline material to exhibit, very large elongations without necking prior to failure in generally isotropic manner. Elongations in excess of 400% are usually referred to as Superplasticity. As the limitations of sheet metal fabrication are most often determined by the tensile ductility, superplasticity in sheet metals offers advantages for the forming of complex shapes easily as a regular production process.The focus of the present work is to arrive at the optimum process parameters in the superplastic forming in re-entrant shape of 7075 aluminium alloy, so as to achieve minimum thinning, lesser forming time and reduction in micro cavities.
