Post formed surfaces of superplastically stretched domes of different shapes, i.e. hemispherical, cylindrical and conical, were studied. Large surface steps, striated bands and fibers originating from cooperative grain boundary sliding (CGBS), that is, sliding of grain groups, have been observed. These surface features have deleterious effects on surface quality and can deteriorate corrosion resistance of superplastically formed aluminum components.
