Tribology 101 – Introduction to Friction in Sheet Metal Forming

    0

    In this video you will learn:

    • Discover why relying solely on the Coulomb friction coefficient is no longer sufficient
    • Understand the key variables that influence friction – and why friction behaves as a dynamic process rather than a constant value
    • Explore two practical, real-world examples that highlight the impact of advanced friction odelling

    Why this video:

    Friction is not easily visible – and even harder to fully understand – especially given its dynamic nature, which is influenced by a range of variables. These variables stem from key elements of the sheet metal forming process, such as tool material, sheet material, lubricant type, and the amount applied. Accurate friction modeling is essential for producing reliable simulation results and avoiding costly months of tool debugging and physical trial-and-error. In this webinar, we’ll examine why the traditional Coulomb friction model is insufficient – and explore the critical variables that must be considered to model friction more effectively.
