Collection of Selected, Peer Reviewed Papers from the 12th International Conference on Superplasticity in Advanced Materials (ICSAM 2015), September 7-11, 2015, Tokyo, Japan.The 99 papers are grouped as follows:Chapter 1: Keynote LectureChapter 2: Mechanism of SuperplasticityChapter 3: Superplastic MaterialsChapter 4: Microstructure RefinementChapter 5: Industrial ApplicationKeywords: Superplasticity, Mechanism, Grain Boundary Sliding, Microstructural Refinement, Industrial Application, Forming, BondingEditors Sato, Itoh, Takayama, Kitazono, Morita, Itoi, and Kobayashi present readers with a collection of peer-reviewed papers selected from research presented at the twelfth International Conference on Superplasticity in Advanced Materials, held in September of 2015 in Tokyo, Japan. The articles that make up the main body of the text are organized in five chapters devoted to the mechanisms of superplasticity, superplastic materials, microstructure refinement, industrial applications, and other related subjects. Individual selections are focused on the superplasticity of alloys, the enhanced plasticity of pure metals, and many other subjects.- Materials science- Mechanical engineering- Metals- Polymers, plastics and rubber
