The process class of sheet-bulk metal forming (SBMF) involves several advantages for the\nmanufacture of functional components. Its incremental variant (iSBMF) enables a very flexible\ndimensioning of components. To treat the unfavorable manufacturing time of the incremental\napproach, this investigation is focused on an alternative process route using rotating forming tools,\nwhich decrease the process time significantly. After an analysis of the mechanical properties as well\nas the micro- and macroscopic surface quality, a quasi-static benchmark test was performed.\nNormalized by the weight of the component, gears manufactured by iSBMF and BS600 steel\npresented the same load capacity as gears manufactured by blanking with subsequent hardening.\nHere, using innovative high strength steels with a significant strain hardening behavior like high\nmanganese steels enables for weight-reduced gears.
