Comparative analysis of parameters affecting micro-forming process

Abstract

This review paper provides a comprehensive analysis of the various factors affecting micro-forming and the parameters involved in manufacturing micro-parts. To ensure minimal wear and tear and error-free products, it is important to optimize both the process parameters and framework. The paper aims to highlight the importance of metal micro-forming technology in designing and manufacturing highly precise micro metallic devices, biodegradable implants, micro-pumps, and gears. Through this review paper, readers can gain a better understanding of metal micro-forming, the variables that influence micro-forming and deep drawing, and the process parameters that affect micro-forming and deep drawing technology. Optimizing the process parameters is crucial for the success of micro-forming and can lead to improved product quality, increased production efficiency, cost reduction, process robustness, and improved material properties. The paper specifically discusses the significance of parameters such as blank holder force and size effects on variables that play an important role in optimizing the metal micro-forming process.
