Question 1: In the context of aerospace manufacturing, how does "Superplastic Forming" (SPF) contribute to the shaping of materials?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

SPF is irrelevant for materials used in structural components

SPF only applies to high-temperature applications

SPF enables the forming of complex shapes by using materials that can be stretched under high temperature without breaking

SPF only applies to thermoplastics, not metals
