Zusammenfassung:	A method and apparatus for producing ultra-fine grained metal material sheets. The apparatus molds and rapidly solidifies a metal material to form a fine grain precursor. The precursor is then subjected to a series of successive alternating tensile and compressive strains that alter the grain structure of the precursor so as to form a ultra fine grained structure in sheet form. The sheet form may then be subjected to superplastic forming to form a net shaped article.
