Superplastic deformation, especially in quasi-stable fine equiaxied grain structures, is accompanied by grain growth whose rate exceeds that which can occur without deformation. The deformation induced component of the grain growth stabilizes the deformation itself through an increase in the flow stress. An empirical expression for the grain growth is demonstrated which describes the behavior of microduplex and second-phase dispersed alloys. Finally, a new deformation model of superplasticity is proposed to explain the grain growth.
