“…Steel alloys are the most common materials in published research [13][14][15][16]. Aluminum alloys, titanium, and magnesium are other common materials [4,8,[17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25]. The main differences of different materials types are the melting temperature, mechanical properties variation by temperature, the heat conductivity of the material, and laser beam absorption.…”

“…The forming of magnesium alloys is vital due to brittle material behavior and low elongation at failure. Dixit et al [17] studied the bending of friction stir welded AA5052-H32 aluminum alloy sheets experimentally and numerically. The irradiation of the laser beam changes the mechanical properties of the welded zone hardness distribution.…”

“…The absorption coefficient of the irradiated beam affects the bending angle. It can be obtained with experimental tests and inverse problem solution by finite element software such as ABAQUS, COMSOL MULTIPHYSICS, or ANSYS software [17,18,24]. The finite element analysis is usually carried out with a 3D nonlinear transient thermo-mechanical solver.…”

Laser forming is an emerging manufacturing process capable of producing either uncomplicated and complicated shapes by employing a concentrated heating source. The heat source movement creates local softening, and a plastic strain will be induced during the rise of temperature and the subsequent cooling. This contactless forming process may be used for the simple bending of sheets and tubes or fabrication of doubly-curved parts. Different studies have been carried out over recent years to understand the mechanism of forming and predicting the bending angle. The analysis of process parameters and search for optimized manufacturing conditions are among the most discussed topics. This review describes the main recent findings in the laser forming of single and multilayer sheets, composite and fiber-metal laminate plates, force assisted laser bending, tube bending by laser beam, the optimization technique implemented for process parameters selection and control, doubly-curved parts, and the analytical solutions in laser bending. The main focus is set to the researches published since 2015.

“…Researchers have demonstrated very wide application of laser bending. Friction‐stir‐welded aluminium alloy sheets [4], friction‐stir‐processed sheets [5], tailor machined blanks [6], aluminium components [7], titanium alloys [8], magnesium alloys [9], silicon [10], steel [11] and plastics [12] have been bent just with line heating by a laser beam. Lim and Lee [13] carried out line heating for forming the marine grade steel and studied the material properties after forming.…”
