This study combines the incremental forming process with thermal-assisted techniques to effectively improve the forming accuracy of aluminum alloy materials, thereby meeting the needs for small-batch and customized product manufacturing. In thermal incremental forming, the material is subjected to complex multi-field coupling, including force field, thermal field, and structural field, leading to highly complex deformation behavior. Therefore, by combining macroscopic and microscopic approaches, this study investigates the influence of different process parameters on the forming accuracy of 5A03 aluminum alloy pyramid-shaped components and analyzes the impact of temperature on the microstructure of 5A03 aluminum alloy, thereby identifying the optimal process parameter combination for superior forming accuracy.
