A pressurizing forming process includes the steps of applying a higher
fatty acid-based lubricant on a surface of a metallic workpiece and/or a
forming surface of a forming tool, and forming, wherein a lubricating
film including metallic soap is formed on a pressurized-and-contacted
interface, at which the surface of the metallic workpiece and the surface
of the forming tool are pressed against and are brought into contact with
each other, in forming the metallic workpiece by pressurizing with the
forming tool. The metallic workpiece and/or the forming tool can be
heated prior to or in the forming step.
