A series of load-relaxation tests and tensile tests were conducted to study the high temperature deformation mechanism of fine duplex gamma TiAl alloy at temperatures ranging from 800 to 105$0^{\circ}C$. Results of load relaxation test showed that deformation behavior at a small imposed strain ($\varepsilon$≒0.05) was dominated by dislocation glide and dislocation climb. To investigate the deformation behavior at a large amount of strain, the processing map was constructed using a dynamic materials model. Two domains were characterized in the processing map obtained at a strain level of 0.6. One domain was found at the region of 98$0^{\circ}C$ and $10^{-3}/sec$ with a peak efficiency of 48%, which was identified as a domain of dynamic recrystallization from the microstructural observation. The order was observed at the region of 125$0^{\circ}C$ and $10^{-4}/sec$ with a peak efficiency of 64%. The strain rate sensitivity measured indicates that the material was deformed by the superplasticity in the region.

An ultrafine grained Mg-9Al-1Zn magnesium alloy with the mean grain size less than $1{\mu}m$ was produced by using high-ratio differential speed rolling. The processed alloy exhibited excellent superplasticity at relatively low temperatures. The micro-forming tests were carried out using a micro-forging apparatus with micro V-grooved shaped dies made of silicon and the micro-formability was evaluated by means of micro-formability index, $R_f$ ($=A_f/A_g$, $A_f$: formed and inflowed area into the V-groove, $A_g$: area of the V-groove). The $R_f$ value increased with temperature up to $280^{\circ}C$ and then decreased beyond $300^{\circ}C$. The decrease of the $R_f$ value at $300^{\circ}C$ was attributed to the accelerated grain coarsening. Increasing the micro-forging pressure increased the $R_f$ values. At a given die geometry, die filling ability decreased as the die position moved away from the die center to the end. FEM simulation predicted this behavior and a method of improving this problem was proposed.

Among the most of manufacturing process, plastic deformation method offers a significant advantage in productivity and enable mass production with controlled quality and low cost. From the point of view, micro forming is a well suited technology in manufacturing very small metallic parts, in particular for mass production, as they are required in many industrial products. Meanwhile, Al 5083 superplastic alloy with very small grains has a great advantage in achieving micro deformation under low stress due to its relatively low strength at a specific high temperature range. This paper describes the micro formability of Al 5083 superplastic alloy and its application to die forging of micro patterns. Micro formability tests of Al 5083 superplastic alloy were carried out with the specially designed micro forging system by using V-grooved micro dies and pyramidal dies made of (100) silicon. With these dies, micro forging was conducted by varying the applied load, material temperature and forging time The micro formability of Al 5083 superplastic alloy was evaluated by comparing $R_f$ value, where $R_f\;=\;A_f/A_v$ ($A_v$ : cross-sectional area of the flowed metal, $A_v$ : cross sectional area of V-groove). The micro formability of 3 dimensional Patterns was also evaluated using Pyramidal type micro dies.

The Al-7.7Zn-2.0Mg-1.9Cu-0.1Zr-0.1Sc alloy exhibited excellent elongation by the new thermomechanical treatment (TMT) process; solution treatment and furnace cooling\longrightarrowhot and cold rolling and then annealing for short time. Tensile test at high temperature from 430 to $500^{\circ}C$ has been performed with various strain rates using for the Al-7.7Zn-2.0Mg-1.9Cu-0.1Zr-0.1Sc alloy obtained by the TMT process. The elongation of the Al-7.7Zn-2.0Mg-1.9Cu-0.1Zr-0.1Sc was 550% tensile tested at $470^{\circ}C$ temperature and 2.2 $\times$ $10^{-3}$ $s^{-1}$ strain rate. The m value of Al-7.7Zn-2.0Mg-1.9Cu-0.1Zr-0.1Sc alloy deformed 85% increased from 0.33 to 0.46 with increasing total elongation. This new TMT process was very simple and easy to make the sheets in the company.

In this work, the effect of Sc and Mm(misch metal) on the high temperature behavior of Al-Mg alloys was observed. Hardness was increased due to appearance of fine $Al_3Sc$ precipitates. The elongation of Al-Mg-Sc alloy at high temperature was higher than that of Al-Mg-Sc-Mm alloy because Al-Mg-Sc alloy has finer grain sizes than Al-Mg-Sc-Mm alloy. The strain rate sensitivity factor, "m" of Al-Mg-Sc and Al-Mg-Sc-Mm at $475^{\circ}C$ and $1{\times}10^{-2}s^{-1}$ were 0.33 and 0.46, respectively. The activation energy of Al-Mg-Sc and Al-Mg-Sc-Mm alloy for superplastic deformation was 133KJ/mol and 103KJ/mol respectively. The elongation of Al-Mg-Sc alloy at high temperature was decreased by the addition of Mm, but the strength at high temperatures and low strain rate was improved.

High temperature tensile test has been performed at $450^{\circ}C$ at different strain rate with various grain size due to different reduction rate of Al-4wt%Mg-0.4wt%Sc alloy which is known to be one of useful superplastic alloys. The grain size of Al-4wt%Mg-0.4wt%Sc alloy is $67~100\mu\textrm{m}$ which is courser than that of the alloy which is commonly used as the superplastic material. The total elongation of the Al-4wt%Mg-0.4wt%Sc alloy is strongly dependent on the average grain size, and is a linear function of the inverse average grain size for the present alloy.
