英文摘要：

Ultrasonic-vibration assisted metal plastic forming gradually plays an important role in the field of plastic forming, because it can help to reduce the forming force effectively, improve the forming limit of metallic materials and re- fine the quality of formed parts. Characteristics of uhrasonic-vibration assisted metal plastic forming were introduced, and the research status of two aspects of the theoretical mechanism including ＂volume effect＂ and ＂surface effect＂ were summa- rized. In addition, the application of ultrasonic-vibration in light alloy forming processes was reviewed. Finally, the prob- lems existing in the current theoretical and application research and the prospects of ultrasonic-vibration assisted metal plas- tic forming were presented.
