Abstract
Most micro metal forming processes need a linear, mechanical movement in order to initiate and conduct the forming process. This applies especially to most bulk metal forming processes, such as upsetting and cold forging, described in Chap. 4, and to sheet metal forming processes, such as deep drawing, stretch drawing, bending, flange forming, piercing and blanking, described in Chap. 5. Nevertheless, there are some processes with rotational movement, such as rotary swaging, or other incremental forming processes. Furthermore, there are micro forming processes, which do not need any external mechanical movement at all. They obtain the forming energy, for example, by laser induced shock waves, such as in laser shock forming.
