“…Therefore, it is necessary to have in-depth knowledge of the friction and wear mechanisms and furthermore the effect of several parameters such as temperature and pressure. Many empirical results are available in the literature as regards the temperature and pressure effects on friction and wear mechanism during hot stamping (Dohda, et al 2015), (Ghiotti, Bruschi and Borsetto 2011), (Schwingenschlögl, Niederhofer and Merklein 2019); however, so far, the underlying friction mechanisms are not clearly explained. In most studies, the analyses are limited mainly to the tool and little attention has been devoted to the sheet metal surface (Pujante, Pelcastre, et al 2013), (Boher, Le Roux and Dessain 2012).…”
