High process stability is needed in sheet metal forming industry. This can be achieved by predicting and controlling the transient process and temperature variation, especially at start of production. In this connection, the temperature induced friction changing plays a significant role because it leads to product failures. The handling of the transient friction effects is currently done reactively, based on the individual experience of the machine operators. In future, those transient effects need to be controlled. This paper shows initially an analysis of the temperature induced friction increase in a well-known and proven flat strip drawing test. Different tribological systems were tested at tool temperatures between 20 and 80 °C. The temperature increase results in a higher friction of up to 77 %. Several influences on friction increase will be presented. These friction influences were verified afterwards with a heated forming demonstrator under laboratory conditions.

The proper determination of friction condition during metal forming operations is imperative for successful process design and production of parts. Through the years, various methods of determining the friction condition have been proposed, but all methods have some drawbacks. In this study, a new type of friction test named tip test based on backward extrusion of AL6061-O is proposed. The experimental set-up of this method induces the formation of a sharp radial tip on the extruded end of the workpiece. It has been found that the simple geometrical measurement of this radial tip position can be used to effectively determine the friction condition.

Cold forging processes enable the economical production of high quality components like joints, shafts and gears. The manufactured parts are characterized by improved properties such as hardness, surface quality and fatigue strength. For manufacturing components using cold forging, a comprehensive knowledge regarding the cold forging procedure and its process parameters is needed. One important influencing factor, which needs to be analyzed to use the potential of this kind of processes, is the tribological system, especially the used lubricant. The tribological conditions significantly influence the material flow and thus the workpiece quality. Furthermore, resource efficient and environmentally benign metal forming processes became very important within the last decade. The present study evaluates the resulting tribological conditions and their differences for various cold forging lubricants with and without a zinc phosphate based lubricant carrier. The lubricants are based on molybdenum disulphide, polymers, or both inorganic salts and waxes. The tribological conditions of the different lubricants are investigated using the Double-Cup-Extrusion-Test (DCET) as a laboratory friction test.

To assess the tool-workpiece compatibility in metal forming, a friction test is carried out on a strip-ironing type tribometer, which can estimate quantitatively the effect of new surface generation during the process and sliding travel on galling. The workpiece is mild steel and the die materials are tool steels of various kinds, cemented carbide, ceramics, and surface treated steels. The compatibility is estimated through examination of the frictional characteristics, observation of the frictional surface, and the surface appearance of products. The effect of lubricants on compatibility is also examined.

To determine the accuracy of the readjustable punches for separating operations (perforation + punching out) of sheet-metal forming, the accuracy parameters were analyzed using the random balance method using the method of experiment planning. Analytical dependencies are obtained to determine the values of deviation of the outer and inner contour dimensions of perforated and punched out sheet parts. From the dependencies obtained, it is possible to estimate and predict the value of deviation in the dimensions of the resulting part at any time during the operation of the punch. Practical recommendations on the calculation of the actuating dimensions of the working elements (stamping punch, matrix) of readjustable punches are offered.
