Effect of Surface Enlargement and of Viscosity of Lubricants on Friction Behaviour of Advanced High Strength Steel Material during Deep Drawing

Article Preview

Abstract:

Increasing demands on vehicle safety and weight reduction in the automotive industry lead to an increased use of “advanced high strength steels” for car body manufacturing purposes. Mentioned material grades are having high levels of tensile strength and are often used in conventional sheet metal forming processes. One of the most significant factors on quality of stamped components as well as its manufacturing process robustness is the friction between tool and sheet material. During the deep drawing process, superposition of tensile stresses is causing enlargement of the sheet surface by a few percent. This effect can damage the zinc layer. Due to that fact, lubricant has to keep tool and work piece separated in order to prevent adhesion and abrasion. For that very reason, sufficient amount of lubricant has to be applied onto the surface texture reservoirs. Furthermore, the viscosity of lubricant is mainly influencing its ability of wetting the surface. The aim of this study is to define the relationship between friction coefficient, surface enlargement and lubrication having different viscosities. In this investigation the same amount of lubricant with viscosity of ϑ=65 mm2/s, ϑ=200 mm2/s and ϑ=400 mm2/s was applied on strips made out of DP1000 and DC04 steel. Then, the strips were stretched uniaxially, and restraining forces were measured by strip draw test considering constant surface pressure and drawing speed. In this paper, the correlation between friction coefficient, viscosity and surface enlargement for two different sheet material grades is shown.
