Abstract

In this paper, a sheet metal forming simulator (SMFS) is used for evaluation of the frictional behaviour of AZ80 and ZE10 magnesium alloys under lubricated contact conditions. The results showed that the friction coefficient increases by increasing the contact pressure and decreasing the sliding velocity. A friction model is further developed for lubricated contact taking into account the surface roughness characteristics and the viscosity of lubricant. The proposed model showed very good agreement with the results of experiments. Finite element (FE) simulations were also carried out to investigate the effect of key process parameters on the results of SMFS. Based on the results of the FE model, the coefficient of friction increases by increasing the bending angle and pin diameter; however, these increases are not significant.
