Superplastic forming technology is an advanced forming technology that makes use of the superplastic large deformation ability of materials to manufacture thin-walled complex components. In the process of superplastic forming and superplastic forming/diffusion bonding

there are many process parameter variables and high requirements for parameter synchronization control

which are generally carried out on special superplastic forming machine. It is more convenient to control key parameters such as blank temperature

tool and die temperature

deformation zone

deformation speed

deformation stress

etc. The traditional superplastic forming machine is far from meeting the needs of scientific research and production due to its unidirectional pressing

insufficient functional integration and low degree of automation. Therefore

this paper focuses on three new functions of superplastic forming equipment

including multi-directional loading

“gas–liquid” coupling control and automatic feeding and unloading. With the integration and deep integration of advanced manufacturing technology and information technology

superplastic forming machine will further develop towards the direction of large-scale

clean

automatic

multi-energy field compounding and specialization

and will further improve the production efficiency and application scope of superplastic forming technology.
