Friction is one of the most important technological phenomena and has a large influence on
the flow characteristics of a deformed material. A strip drawing friction test was used to …

To generally describe the size effect in microforming operation under dry friction, which
strongly depends on the contact state and geometrical/mechanical properties of the surface …

The purpose of this paper is to improve strip drawing test in order to simulate sheet/tool
contact conditions during a stamping operation. An original multi-pass strip drawing test in …

A ball-on-flat reciprocating micro-tribometer has been used to measure the friction coefficient
between aluminium alloy strip and a steel ball. A relatively small ball and correspondingly …

Experimental results presented in this article reveal the ability of nanoparticle-dispersed
engine oil (nanolubricant) to deagglomerate metallic transfer films under extreme pressures …

In a society becoming more and more conscious of the effect of human activities on
environment, it is not possible to neglect impacts caused by manufacturing. Not only …
