IntroductionIn addition to the existing trend towards the development of lightweight and durable materials used in aviation, there is the desire to design and manufacture aircraft structures of sheet metal. Among the various production techniques, only sheet-metal forming enable the production of thin-walled components with high strength [1][2][3][4]. According to [5,6], the tribological properties of the deformed materials and the friction conditions are important factors determining the results of sheet metal forming, particularly in the deep drawing process. Friction increases the drawing force, and as a result deteriorating energy efficiency of the process. High friction resistance at the blank holder -blank -die interface causes a rise in the drawing force and increases the risk of cracking of the drawn part, which has particular significance in forming sheets of small thickness [7]. Additionally, friction has an impact on the strains distribution in the drawn part as well as on the changes in the thickness of its walls [8].The negative effects of frictional forces are uneven strain, temperature rise in the workpiece -tool interface and lubrication deterioration, which in turn affects the quality of the drawn parts and tool life. The set of tribological processes occurring during formation in the tool contact zone, including mechanical and adhesional friction surface interaction as An important factor in the possibility of obtaining correct drawn parts with the desired functional properties is the friction between the stamped sheet and the tool.The article discusses the impact of technological lubricants developed according to our own formulas, based on vegetable oils, on the stamping process taking into account the strain distributions in the drawn parts. Biodegradable lubricants based on rapeseed oil with an addition of stearic acid or boric acid were used. The results of the friction coefficient in a strip drawing test and the numerical analysis results of the stamping process of a spherical cap from sheet metal: aluminium 2024, commercially pure titanium Grade 2, steel 5604 in dry friction and lubrication conditions, are presented. Strain distributions and changes in the drawn part wall thickness were analysed.
