将高密度能量场(声、光、电、热、磁等)引入加工区域，辅助或直接形成材料去除是先进制造技术发展的一个重要方向。磁场辅助加工是能量场加工中出现较早的一个技术，其原位吸热和主动控制残余应力的特点，预示了这一技术在材料加工领域的巨大应用前景。从加工过程的磁致效应、工具/工件磁化加工、磁场辅助加工基本理论三个方面对磁场辅助加工的发展现状进行了综述，并对其未来的发展方向进行了展望。

High-density energy field manufacturing technology is a hot topic in recent advanced manufacturing technology. Vibration,laser,electric,heat,magnetic of high density are applied into machining zone to perform or assist material removal. Magnetic field assisted manufacturing technology is pioneered in 1960. This technology could be more and more popular due to the in-situ heat elimination and active control of residual stress. The researches focused on magnetic field assisted manufacturing technology are reviewed in the items of magnetic effect in the machining process,magnetization of cutting tool/workpiece materials,transition mechanism among magnetization,heat and material deformation. The improvement direction of magnetic field assisted manufacturing in the future is proposed.
