Abstract. The increasing share and expansion of miniature devices requires the mastery of miniature parts production, including metal parts. In metal microforming, due to the conditions of mechanical similarity, the aim is to use materials with the smallest grain. Ultra-fine-grained metals (UFG) fulfill this requirement. These metals can be obtained, inter alia, in SPD processes such as ECAP. The work uses the extension of the SPD based on ECAP with additional metal forming operations necessary to obtain blanks for microforming in the form of a 0.2 mm foil. Three variants of the technological process were performed. This foil was then subjected to a micro-drawing operation aimed at determining the influence of the foil preparation process on the sheet metal microforming process flow.
