Based on a self-built experiment platform, the research of electric hot incremental forming (EHIF) of Ti-6Al-4 V alloy was carried out. The temperature of the tool head was controlled at 300–500 ℃, respectively. The effects of temperature on the hardness and formability of Ti-6Al-4 V formed components and the microstructure evolution were investigated. The results showed that the formability increased with the increasing temperature. Average fracture depth of 5.6 mm was obtained at room temperature. When the tool head was controlled at 300 and 500 ℃, the average fracture depths of the formed components were 12.6 and 21.0 mm, which were increased by 125% and 275%, respectively. Microstructure evolution of the components formed at 500 ℃ showed that the ratio of β phase increased gradually as the forming depth increased. In addition, the microstructure was more uniform at 500 ℃. The hardness test results also confirmed that high temperature weakens the mechanical performance difference in different directions of the formed components. However, high temperature deteriorated the lubricant condition and increased the surface roughness of the formed components.
