Abstract: | In this paper, a novel dynamic ultrahigh-strain-rate forming method driven by laser impact is reported. The technique is based on a mechanical, not thermal, effect. It is found that the ultrahigh-strain-rate is the most important feature for laser shock forming. Usually it is about 107–109 s-1, two or more orders of magnitude higher than that of explosive forming, a method with the largest strain rate previously. Studies on the hardness and residual stress of the surfaces indicate that laser shock forming has some peculiarities other forming methods lack. It introduces strain hardening and compressive residual stresses on both surfaces of the metal sheet, resulting in an obvious improvement in fatigue and corrosion resistance. We also discover some non-linear plastic deformation characteristics in laser shock forming. PACS 42.62.Cf; 81.70.C; 62.20.-x; 81.40.Vw; 62.50.+p;
