Broad use of lightweight aluminium alloy parts in automobile manufacturing, aerospace, electronic communication, and rail transit is mainly formed through deep drawing process. Deep drawing friction is a key boundary condition for controlling the forming quality of aluminium alloy parts. However, due to the oxidation and adhesion tendency of aluminium alloys, the tribological situations of aluminium alloy deep drawing (AADD) system is more complicated than those of traditional deep drawing of steel sheets. Therefore, the study of AADD friction is essential for manufacturing high-performance aluminium alloy parts. Herein, aiming to provide a valuable reference for researchers in related fields, a comprehensive review of AADD friction is provided, including friction mechanism, influencing factors, friction measurement, friction model, friction simulation, and lubrication-free friction control. Finally, a brief conclusion and several current challenges were discussed.
