• Correlations between occurring normal force, effective plastic strain,

direction of motion, and resulting roughness

𝑅𝑎𝛽 = 𝑓1 𝑓n, 𝑒𝑝𝑠max, α

• Function for friction coefficient of change in roughness, sliding

velocity, and direction of motion

𝜇 = 𝑓2 𝑣, ∆𝑅𝑎, 𝛼

𝛼 Angle between direction of motion and rolling direction

𝛽 Angle between direction of measurement and rolling direction

𝑅𝑎𝛽 Arithm. mean surface roughness measured in 𝛽 to rolling direction

𝑓n Maximal occurring normal pressure

𝑒𝑝𝑠max Maximal occurring effective plastic strain

𝜇 Friction coefficient

𝑣 Current sliding velocity

∆𝑅𝑎 Change in roughness

• Strong influence of

friction on the part

quality

• Existing laws for friction

are not adequate for the

realistic description of

local contact conditions.

Investigation of surface topography evolution

• Material: aluminum alloy AlMg3 (EN AW-5754)

• Basic experiments:

Pressure test (PT)

Tensile test (TT)

Strip drawing test (SD)

• Roughness measurement before and after the tests

• Measurements in and to rolling direction

Main influences on deep drawing processes

Focus of study: Friction modeling in FE simulation

Setup to apply contact pressure

Setup for tensile test

Setup for strip drawing test

Strong influence of friction coefficient µ on the result, e.g. sheet thickness

Friction modeling

the friction coefficient

• Depending on

Roughness evolution

Forming parameters
