The lifetime of sheet metal forming (SMF) tools is often limited by galling, a wear type that affects the surface quality of the products and the lifetime of SMF tools. Since SMF tools represent high economical value, it is clear that improvement and prediction of tool life is of high industrial importance. Therefore, models are required that can predict friction and wear related phenomena in SMF-processes,...
Galling is a known failure mechanism in sheet metal forming (SMF) processes. As a result of this wear process, the amount of waste increases, the production process becomes hard to control and eventually expensive maintenance is required in order to continue production. Delaying or avoiding galling mechanisms by optimising the contacting materials and lubricant is therefore of high industrial importance...
