Flanging is a widespread method in the sheet metal working industry to connect same or different materials by forming. Especially the sealing technology makes high demands on the flanging process: a low sheet thickness of the inner eyelet is necessary for proper sealing. The outer edges of the neck rings are mostly manufactured by shear cutting. The quality of the cut surface and the level of the local strain hardening influence decisively the limit of the flanging process by possible cracking. This paper is focused on the dependencies of these factors regarding thin metal sheets of different materials with a thickness down to 100 μm. It could be shown that strain hardening has a stronger effect on the process limits compared to the notch effect of the sheet edges when using standard values for the clearance of the shear cutting tool. Furthermore, a process is investigated with a partial inductive short-time heat treatment of the most deformed edge area. Due to the low thickness of the material and low heat capacities related thereto, it is possible to integrate a recrystallization annealing as single step into the forming process. As a result, the strain hardening can be removed from the affected zone directly between two forming steps to increase the process limits.

Mechanical micro deep drawing becomes a more and more industrial relevant process. But due to size effects new challenges are involved in this process compared to macro deep drawing. The size effects cause an increase of friction and thus hinder the material flow. The change of friction in mechanical micro deep drawing is subject of the presented investigations in this paper. Additionally to this, a new non-mechanical micro deep drawing process is presented, whereby a laser beam acts as a punch. This new laser deep drawing process is based on a totally different mechanism compared to thermal laser forming, e.g. forming by laser induced thermal stresses: The laser produces a pulse with an extremely high power density, which causes plasma generation at the target and thus a shock wave. The shock wave can be used as in explosive forming, but is smaller and easier to generate. Recent investigations showed that using this technology laser deep drawing is possible with a sheet metal out of Al 99.5 and a thickness of 50 'm. The deep drawing process was carried out with a die diameter of 4 mm and shows promising results.
