Abstract

Forming of stainless steel sheets with stringent requirements on surface quality is currently realized using protective foils as a separating agent between the tools and the sheet metal. The protective foils are applied with special machines and need to be removed after the forming process or at the end customer. This approach goes along with economic disadvantages. Alternative tribological systems for foil free forming are insufficiently researched and not yet reliably applicable in a production process. The performed research work is based on experimental analyses investigating the physicochemical properties of selected lubricants with regard to the contact angle, the wetting characteristic, the cohesion strength, and intermolecular forces. Additionally, the surface free energy and the wetting envelope of selected coatings and the sheet metal are investigated. The interactions between the tribological properties of the lubricants and the coatings are evaluated performing a strip drawing test. Finally, the performed work discusses and derives basic mechanisms enabling a foil free forming based on friction coefficients from strip drawing.
