Abstract: In forming of advanced high-strength steel (AHSS), the temperature increase at die/sheet interface affects the performance of lubricants and die wear. This study demonstrates that finite-element (FE) analysis, using ...

Abstract: Aluminum alloys are increasingly used in automotive manufacturing to save weight. The drawability of Al 5182O has been proven at room temperature (RT) and it is also shown that formability is further enhanced at elevated ...

Abstract: Lubricants are necessary to avoid adhesion, galling, and scratching in aluminum stamping processes. In this study, various lubricants, including dry lubes and wet lubes, were evaluated using cup drawing test (CDT) for ...
