Abstract
Polycrystalline ceramics have the capability of pulling out in tension to elongations of several hundreds of per cent. However, this deformation generally leads to the development and growth of internal cavities within the material. Although internal cavitation is a well documented phenomenon in superplastic metals,1, 2 there is only limited information at present available on the factors influencing the development of cavities during superplastic-like flow in ceramics.
