The emergence of new titanium fabrication techniques has opened up new possibilities for achieving high structural efficiency at considerably reduced costs. Superplastic forming/diffusion bonding (SPF/DB), combined with conventional metallurgical joining techniches, has been shown to effect weight reductions in future weapon systems. This paper shows how the basic steps utilized in structural design were altered in the application of SPF/DB to a Mach 2.0-class aircraft. Optimization techniques, joint details, and design/process/tooling interactions are discussed. Finally, an assessment is made of potential problem areas and future applications of this new design/fabrication method. (Wassmann)
