Abstract This chapter discusses the phenomenon of superplasticity, as seen in different materials such as metals/alloys, intermetallics, ceramics, bulk metallic glasses and composites. The phenomenon of low temperature/high strain rate superplasticity is also briefly discussed. The various forming operations and the recent developments in forming processes like superplastic forming-diffusion bonding, friction stir processing, roll forming, and incremental forming have also been reviewed. Finally, some applications of superplastic forming in the manufacture of aerospace components are presented.
