Short description
Short description
The increasing demand for environmentally friendly and economical processes motivates research into lubricant-free deep drawing. This shortens the process chain by omitting the application of lubricants and the cleaning of components. The central challenges in lubricant-free forming are substantial increases in friction and tool wear due to direct workpiece-to-tool contact. In this context, the objective is to reduce wear and friction by means of tool-sided coatings. On a newly developed application-oriented test rig, it has been proven that these modifications are suitable for the wear-free production of more than 3,000 components and thus a significant increase in tool life compared to uncoated tools.
