Abstract
In Section 1.2 the discovery of transformational plasticity and the early work in this area up to late 1950’s was described. As briefly noted in that section environmental superplasticity is caused by any one of the three methods:
-
(i)
thermal cycling of a material through a phase change with concurrent application of a small external stress,
-
(ii)
thermally cycling a material with anisotropic coefficients of thermal expansion while simultaneously applying a load, and
-
(iii)
subjecting a material under a small stress to neutron irradiation.
