Excitation of the acoustic field, leading to the Blaha effect, significantly affects the plasticity of a material. In the micro-forming field, the so-called impact effect is found to generate a larger amount of dislocation and produce greater plastic deformation than acoustic softening. In this study, the mechanism of deformation in the surface of the material with ultrasonic vibration assistance was investigated and compared with that in the bulk. Forging tests using a newly developed ultrasonic vibrator were carried out on pure Cu foils with various process conditions. The longitudinal vibration frequency of the ultrasonic transducer was 60 ± 2 kHz, and the vibration amplitude was in an adjustable range of 0~6 μm. Forging tests were carried out at different amplitudes. The result shows that acoustic softening and the impact effect could be separated by an oscilloscope in the micro-forging system. The difference in deformation on the surface asperity caused by acoustic softening and the impact effect is discussed. Compared to acoustic softening, which has a limited effect on the deformation of the surface asperity, the impact effect could create more plastic deformation on the surface asperity. Therefore, the reduction in the surface roughness would increase after the impact effect occurs. In addition, to confirm the mechanism of acoustic softening and the impact effect, the microstructural evolution of specimens, at the surface scale and inner scale, was investigated by electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD). It was found that acoustic softening could create more grain refinement, and with the amplitude increasing, the impact effect would oppositely cause the surface grains to grow. In this study, the mechanism of how the impact effect and acoustic softening affect the deformation behavior of the surface asperity was investigated.
