The material condition of a workpiece changes as it is formed. Typically, the workpiece
hardens and undergoes geometrical and topographical changes. In progressive forming …

A methodology based on finite element computations is proposed to predict the galling
onset of aluminium alloys in cold forming. The methodology assumes that galling starts as …

During the miniaturization of specimen size, lubrication plays a very important role in
microforming process. Size effect of friction occurs clearly when a kind of liquid lubricant is …

The increasing focus on environmental issues in industrial production has resulted in
various attempts to develop new, environmentally friendly tribology systems for metal …

This research proposes a complete analysis of the use of physical vapour deposition coated
dies in the sheet metal forming process for high‐strength‐steel sheets. The goal of the …

Lubricants are harmful to human health and the environment. However, it is the only
effective method to reduce friction and to prevent tool wear, leading to a highquality surface …

Dry metal forming (DMF) is a promising candidate for a sustainable metal forming process
with economic and ecological benefits. For successful DMF, it is essential to adopt …

Increasingly restrictive legislative initiatives have in recent years brought increased attention
to the establishment of safe and environmentally benign manufacturing conditions, without …

In sheet metal forming, tool wear is more and more affecting production efficiency due to the
increased usage of high strength sheet materials and tighter product tolerances. For this …

John Schey asked me to work with him on this book in 2000. As the book is a recognized
essential resource for researchers in the fields of manufacturing tribology and metal forming …
