Process design in superplastic forming to produce a Nickel-base jet engine disk has been carried out using the rigid-viscoplastic finite element method. This study aims at deriving systematic procedures in forging of superalloy engine disk, and develops a simple scheme to control strainrate within a range of superplastic deformation during the forging operation. The new process, a pancake type preform being used, is designed to have less manufacturing time, and more even distribution of effective strain in the final product, while the conventional superplastic forging of an engine disk has been produced from a cylindrical billet. The jet engine company, Pratt & Whitney, provided the basic information on the manufacturing process of superplastic forging of a jet engine disk.
