Tribology in Manufacturing Technology

Part of the book series: Materials Forming, Machining and Tribology ((MFMT))

Abstract

This chapter presents the main aspects of the tribological systems observed in the most important metal forming processes. Friction, wear and lubrication are discussed in general terms to describe friction models, wear mechanisms and lubrication regimes commonly found in metal forming, which are analyzed for each of the five groups of processes (rolling, extrusion, forging, drawing and stamping). Recent developments concerning to environmental and cost reduction are also discussed.
