A conference on Superplasticity and Superplastic Forming was held as part of a TMS Annual Meeting in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA, February 13--15, 1995. This was one of a continuing series of conferences on this topic sponsored by the TMS Shaping and Forming Committee. The subject of Superplasticity and Superplastic Forming (SPF) has been experiencing steady growth for the past 15 years. Starting with applications of superplastic titanium and aluminum alloys for aerospace and architectural uses, the technology has been moving steadily into other specialized materials and applications. More widespread applications are anticipated because of lower manufacturing costs offered by superplastic forming when compared to built-up machined assemblies and structures. Introduction of SPF into new arenas, however, does require development of more efficient design strategies suitable for those applications. On the basis of current interest, it is expected that automobile markets and high temperature materials including ceramics will show growth in the future. Concurrently, efforts to understand the mechanisms of superplastic flow have steadily continued in recent years with emphasis on high rate superplasticity. A considerable amount of new research addressing these issues is reported in these proceedings, bringing forth important considerations for materials testing, analysis and new phenomenology. Thirty papers have been processed separately for inclusion of the data base.
