Forces and flow of material in metal working decisively depend on friction between workpiece and tool, which can be described by the friction factor m. For investigation of the influence of friction in hot forming of steel and for measurement of the friction factor, the ring compression test is used as simulation test. The influences of material, reduction, strain rate, temperature, and lubricant are discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
