Abstract
The paper describes the results of long-term investigations on the development of the technology of superplastic forming and pressure welding (SPF/PW) conducted at the Institute for Metals Superplasticity Problems, Russian Academy of Sciences for producing standard articles of aero-space engineering, such as hollow blades, wing and shell panels. The process of solid state joint formation in titanium alloy sheets during SPF was studied. Different investigation techniques were developed. The results of the mechanical and fatigue testing as well as non-destructive inspection of hollow blades are presented. The prospects of the development of the SPF/PW technology are considered and the latest results are discussed.
