It was summed up the research on the size effect of micro forming in recent years, and the relationships among micro forming effect and material yield strength, plasticity, tensile strength, fracture toughness were summarized based on the existing literature on the deformation behavior including that as follows: grain size, thickness and the ratio between them have an important influence on yield strength; the elongation increases with the increase of thickness; there is a complex relationship between tensile strength and thickness size as well as grain size; the fracture toughness of material has an inseparable relationship with various sizes. Furthermore, reasons of the differences among the conclusions of these studies were explored. At the same time,it pointed out that there were some key problems in the mechanism of micro forming size effect to be solved urgently.
