Dynamic reverse phase transformation induced high-strain-rate superplasticity in low carbon low alloy steels with commercial potential

Abstract Superplastic materials are capable of exhibiting large tensile elongation at elevated temperature, which is of great industrial significance because it forms the basis of a fabrication method to produce complex shapes. Superplasticity with elongation larger than 500% has been widely realize...
