Cavity growth is a typical microstructure feature in superplastic forming (SPF) ofmaterials. Substantial growth and interlink of cavities in superplastic deformation usually lead toreduction in elongation, even to failure. Consequently, it is necessary to investigate themechanism and model of cavity growth. In this paper, experimental studies on cavity growth werecarried out by means of superplastic tension of ZK60 magnesium alloys. Scanning electronicmicroscope (SEM) was employed for observation of fractography. Experimental cavity radius andvolume fraction were determined by optical microscopy and corresponding picture-based analysissoftware. It is found that, the fractured surfaces after a superplastic elongation have a mixedcharacteristic of intergranular cavities and dimples. Further, the cavity growth is identified to followa exponentially increasing mode
