Ferrite-Pearlite (FP) steels are used in many automotive components. However, their machinability in low cutting speed processes appears to be highly dependent on their metallurgical state. An experimental approach combining ...

Numerical simulation of sheet metal forming processes has become indispensable in the last decades. Although the complexity of the frictional behaviour is identified as a key factor for the prediction accuracy, the industry ...

The reliability of the pertinent parameters set of Johnson-Cook constitutive model is highly linked with the friction condition at the tool-chip-workpiece interface. In the present work, a study on the influence of Coulomb’s ...

A novel methodology to map the friction and normal stress distribution on the rake face using Partially Restricted Contact Length Tools in orthogonal cutting tests is proposed. The influence of cutting speed, feed and ...

The increasing demands for lightweight design in the transport industry have led to an extensive use of lightweight materials such as aluminium alloys. The forming of aluminium sheets however presents significant challenges ...

The final quality of sheet and tube metal–formed components strongly depends on the tribology and friction conditions between the tools and the material to be formed. Furthermore, it has been recently demonstrated that ...
