Reproducibility of Wear Tests and the Effect of Load on Tool Life in Sheet Metal Forming

Article Preview

Abstract:

The increasing use of advanced high strength steels challenges the forming industry. Data on tool life are not available, thus causing uncertainties in the choice of suitable tribological systems. This paper investigates the reliability of a strip drawing test and the effect of the load level on tool life. Reproducibility of wear tests is barely discussed in literature. This study shows that a wear analysis on the base of a strip drawing test allows reproducible data. However, even small differences of the initial parameters can affect the result. A further investigation shows a distinct relationship between tool life and load level. Furthermore, the predominant wear mechanism is also influenced by the applied load. The findings on wear behaviour and reproducibility can be used for a new approach to estimate tool life in industrial forming processes on the base of a model test.
