Tension tests at 4.2 to 523K were carried out at different strain rates on the alloys having various grain sizes from 0.87 to 3.89μm. Some empirical relations are found among tensile stress σ
uy, strain rate ε, temperature
T and grain size
L. A relation σ
uy-σ
j∝
L holds in a high temperature region, where σ
j is the stress at
L=0. The alloys superplastically deform in this region. The experimental data obey the phenomenological and mechanical equation of state for superplasticity: ε=
K[(σ
uy-σ
j)/
L]
nexp(-
U/RT), where
U is the activation energy,
R the gas constant and
K a constant. The Hall-Petch relation σ
uy∝
L-1/2 holds in a low temperature region. Superplastic features are hardly observed. A transition region from superplastic to normal deformation is found at intermediate temperatures. This region moves to high temperature side as the grain size increases.
