Welcome to the Superplasticity Committee

Welcome to the Superplasticity Community webpages. The Superplasticity Committee provides a forum in the UK and abroad to promote the benefits of the superplastic forming process and associated technologies in a range of industries including aerospace, automotive, transport, architectural and medical. An important feature of this activity is to bring together design engineers, materials technologists and researchers to optimise all aspects of the superplasticity process for the applications concerned. Furthermore, we promote new technologies that interact with or enhance the superplasticity process. (Image courtesy of Aeromet International) Read our mission statement
