Investigation on Tribological Behavior of Advanced High Strength Steels: Influence of Hot Stamping Process Parameters

In order to investigate the friction and wear behavior of high strength steel in hot stamping process, a hot strip drawing tribo-simulator is developed and the friction coefficient, which is an important parameter in the finite element modeling, is measured. The results have shown that the friction coefficient remains almost unchanged until temperature reaches 500 °C. It then increases sharply as temperature is increased from 500 to 600 °C. It has also been shown that the friction coefficient decreases as the drawing speed increases. The change in the dominate wear mechanism as the temperature and the drawing speed increases has been identified from SEM analyses of the worn surface. The dominate wear mechanism is the groove cutting at temperatures between room temperature and 500 °C, which changes to the adhesive wear at temperatures above 500 °C. The main wear mechanism is the adhesive wear at 25 mm/s, which changes to the slight groove cutting at 75 mm/s.
