Abstract
With the ongoing miniaturization in products, there is a growing demand for the development of accurate forming process for mechanical micro-parts. However, in microforming process, the size effects come up and make the knowledge of the usual forming process can not be used directly. This paper investigates the size effect of H62 with the uniaxial tension experiments, and the results show both the grain size effect and the feature size effect. On the basis of the tension data, the LS-DYNA is used to analysis the micro-extrusion process. The simulation results show that the friction condition affect the microforming process seriously. When the friction condition changes, the stress state of the deformed material also changes. With the increasing of the friction coefficient, the extrusion force increases rapidly
