On the influence of workpiece material on friction in microforming and lubricant effectiveness by Taureza, Muhammad, Song, Xu, Castagne, Sylvie

“…A mathematical function is proposed to describe the calibration curves for different friction coefficients. Round bars of copper, aluminum and silver of diameter 1 mm and length 5 mm were used as the workpieces to study the material influence on friction factor, m, during unlubricated microforming process through comparison between simulation and experimental results. …”
