Tools (funding period 2)



Last Update: 23.01.2017


The workgroup Tools studies the characteristics and constructive design of forming tools inside the SFB/TR 73. Within the cooperation of all projects, new invented ideas and technologies for sheet bulk metal forming can be tested and realized. One focus of the workgroup is the investigation of tool surfaces (Tailored Surfaces) to manipulate the friction inside the tool.

Investigations are made by using a developed test forming tool together with an universal press (Figure 1). The modular installation setup enables fast realization and testing. Thus structured surface areas and coating techniques can be evaluated to analyze the influence of the tribological characteristics and therefore the filling of cavities.

For a systematic analysis of the tribological characteristics of tool surfaces, an adapted ring compression test was developed for the sheet bulk metal forming process (Figure 2). Within these tests, Tailored Surfaces can be analyzed under reproducible conditions. A main difference to a conventional ring compression test is the form of the specimen, which is optimized in regard to a more simplified  manufacturing process of the rings, and the sensitivity of the test. To perform the tests, the tools can be utilized by standard universal test machines which are available in all locations of the SFB/TR73.

Besides the tribological behavior of surfaces, wear tests with different surface structures and coating techniques were carried out . In preliminary investigations, different surfaces were tested on a high speed press. All surfaces were punched 1mm deep into DC04 and measured in regular time steps until 1000 strokes were done. At 200 strokes a slight smoothing of the roughness peaks could be detected, while after 200 strokes the surfaces seemed to reach a steady state (Figure 3).

For the next project phase the working group Tools will develop a wear test suited for sheet bulk metal forming across all locations.
