Serrated flow has recently been observed in the ternary Mg-9 wt.% Al-1 wt.% Zn alloy AZ91 at room temperature. Binary and ternary alloys with various contents of Zn and Al have, therefore, been tested to determine the extent to which the individual solutes, Al or Zn, are responsible for the serratio

✦ Synopsis
The superplastic properties of conventionally cast and rapidly solidified magnesium alloy AZ91 have been studied. The latter material had by far the best sup'erplastic properties, and elongations of at least 1000% were obtained in the temperature range 275-300 °C. Formation of pores during superplastic deformation had an adverse effect on the room-temperature mechanical properties.

In the metal forming industry, most of the efforts are directed towards materials and process development, with little attention paid to the properties of the formed components. In Superplastic Forming (SPF), the issue of post-forming properties is particularly important because of the large plastic
