Over the last year, Triumph Fabrications-Hot Springs has developed a Superplastic Forming (SPF) manufacturing facility. This new facility is combined with Triumph’s chemical milling capability and its chemical and physical laboratory. This presentation will introduce this new manufacturing facility and will discuss some of its applications. The presentation will also discuss a variety of real-world SPF and SPF/DB manufacturing issues. The goal of this part of the presentation is to: a)Provide those new to SPF with insight regarding the implementation of SPF technology using an integrated approach and b)Present specific SPF manufacturing problems that are possible research opportunities for universities and the scientific community.
