1 - Presentation
The “Materials, Surface and Forming” (MSM) team was created in 2007 by merging LAMIH’s
“Materials and Surfaces” and “Large strain and Forming” teams. The fusion was managed to
strengthen the research activities of surfaces and interfaces characterization under extreme thermal
and mechanical loadings.
The MSM team is working on two main themes. The first one is related to the characterisation and the
modelling of multiphysic coupling, with applications to glass tempering and metal forming processes.
The main scientific challenges are:
the development of contact, friction and lubricant trapping models,
the understanding of surface and bulk defect occurrences in metal forming and continuous
casting,
the development of coupled computational glass tempering models taking thermal radiation
into account,
the simulation of automotive and optical glass forming.
The second research theme concerns the identification of rheological and tribological behaviour of
coated metal and glass surfaces at high temperature. The main objective is to identify objective data to
characterize surfaces undergoing extreme loadings. Scientific challenges are:
the design of laboratory testing devices able to simulate and measure “true” thermo-
mechanical loadings (“true” means in agreement with industrial ones), with applications to
tribology, metal and glass forming.
the development of innovative methods to identify reliable tribological and rheological data
from test results, with applications to reverse identifications of thermo-mechanical data (such
as contact thermal resistance at glass/mould interface or coefficient of friction) and to predict
surface and bulk defect occurrences.
Application fields of MSM activities range from steel continuous casting, rolling and forging, to glass
forming and tempering. High speed machining, automotive and railway brake systems are also
studied thanks to the development of a high speed friction testing device.
Staff members of MSM are involved in the management of the International Campus of Safety and
Intermodality in Transport (CISIT), Task 2: “New challenges for clean, safe and lightweight vehicles”.
They are also involved in many industrial and academic relationships:
framework agreement with the CETIM (French technical centre of mechanical industry),
resulting from the involvement in many national projects, and leading to collaborations with
French academic partners,
recurrent collaborations with leader companies in the fields of material transformation:
Arcelor-Mittal (member of ArcelorMittal Steelforming network), Corus, Essilor International,
Vallourec,
participation to the VIF Coordinate Action (FP6),
partners in Denmark, Estonia, Germany, Italy and Portugal,
co-direction of a PhD student with the University of Kaiserslautern.

7. Perspectives
2.1 - Theme 1: multiphysic approaches dedicated to glass and metal forming
processes
2.1.1 Glass Tempering
Team member: D. Lochegnies, J.J. Santin
This pluridisciplinary topic is based on a collaboration initiated in 2000 between the LAMIH UMR
CNSR 8530, the LME EA 2447 in Valenciennes and two European research teams. Upstream research
works concern the development and the weak coupling between CFD (Computational Fluid
Dynamics - LME) models, CM (Computational Mechanics – LAMIH) models and thermal models
(Fraunhofer Institute ITWM for Technical and Industrial Mathematics in Kaiserslautern, Germany).
The objective is to determine the convective and radiative heat transfer and the residual stresses in
glass elements which are heated and suddenly cooled by airjets. The Laboratory of Photoelasticity of
Tallinn collaborates on this topic with its original techniques to measure the stresses in tempered
glass.
The present works concern the analysis of the heat transfers by airjets on curved glass to produce
tempered glass for transportation industry. For that purpose, in the framework of the PhD thesis of M.
Wannassi (begining in October 2009, MNERT grant, Title : “Analysis of the heat transfer by airjets
cooling for the glass tempering”, the jointed research proposed by the MSM and DF2T teams of
TEMPO concerns the analysis and the control of the heat transfer by impacting jets on curved surfaces.
The objective is to go deeper in the understanding of the airjet impact on a curved surface to estimate
with accuracy their contribution on the global heat transfer. It has been emphasized to define original
techniques based on the use of helicoidal jets to improve the convective heat transfer in terms of
performance, homogeneity and control. The scientific bolt to be unlocked is the modelling of the
interaction between the airjets and the surface and the treatment of a transient phenomena linked to a
wide time-scale.
CFD results concerning the airflow under the airjets impinging the glass plate and the heat transfer on the glass surface.
2.1.2 Glass & Metal Forming
Glass forming
Team members: D. Lochegnies, P. Moreau, F. Béchet
In the beginning of the 90s, modelling tools have begun to be used by the research centres of
international glass leaders. At the same period, the glass forming topic was created to develop
efficient simulation models to reproduce with accuracy the multi-physics complex coupling present in
the industrial glass forming processes. By means of different partnerships with industrial glass
companies, leaders in their sector (P.P.G. for automotive glass, Les Verreries du Courval for perfume
bottle, Essilor International for optical glass), this topic is well recognized by the international glass
community (Co-chairman of Technical Committee 25 : Modelling of Glass Forming of the
International Commission on Glass). The research activity concerns the development of non linear
thermo-mechanical models in large deformation and evolutive unilateral contact. Inverse methods are
also used to optimize the glass forming processes with particular applications to the determination of
the tool topology and the temperature map before and during the processing.
The present activities in this topic are related to the glass forming for the future vehicles. An ANR
project - Innovative Materials and Processes has been submitted in February 2009. In a public
transport system which has to be integrated in urban environment, the capacity to propose in the
future attractive design with more freedom concerning shapes and materials might represent a
competitive advantage for the transport industry. To be able to produce new glass shapes for all types
of vehicles in respect of tolerances and optical quality, with mastered costs is a challenge which has to
be raised by the glass industry.
The project relates to the development of methodologies and simulators, as well as forming concept
research to answer future expectations of the designer of the railway transportation. In this context, it
is proposed to design and develop an innovative process for complex laminated glass parts combined
with numerical engineering.
Different scientific bolts have to be opened with appropriate multi-physics approaches in connexion
with mechanical, thermal, automation, sensor fields< Several National and European teams are
implied in this project. The expertise report has noticed that the project is in close relation with the call
of proposal topics; it is linked to an important industrial problematic where stakes, important issues
and multiple scientific bolts are present. The project will be submitted again taking care of the
expertise remarks. The definition of a new consortium with leading transportation and glass
industries is under construction.
Due to the important perspectives of the project, it was possible to begin this research activity on glass
forming for future vehicles by a MNERT grant (PhD of Mr El Cheikh entitled “Mathematical
modelling of multi-layer glass creep forming under radiative heating”) in October 2009. The thesis is
made in collaboration with the EDP (Partial Derivative Equations) team of the LAMAV (Mathematical
Laboratory and Their Applications in Valenciennes EA4015) in Valenciennes and the Transport
Process Department of the Fraunhofer Institute ITWM for Technical and Industrial Mathematics in
Kaiserslautern. For this upstream research, the objective is to develop a new mathematical model to
reproduce the hard coupling between radiative heating and the deformation of glass layers. This
approach is original and is based on the radiative model developed by the Fraunhofer ITWM for semi-
transparent medium, as glass, where radiative phenomena are very complex. For example, the non-
linear system to be solved to obtain the temperature evolution function of time and function of
position in a semi-transparent media like glass is given in one-dimension coordinate system by the
equations below

where q(x) is the radiative flux given by

As radiation is affected by absorption, emission, scattering out and scattering in, the computation of
q(x) is difficult and time-consuming. New mathematical models have to be developed especially if
solving 2D problems is emphasized and also coupling with mechanical non-linear equations.
Metal forming.
Team members: L. Dubar, M. Dubar, A. Dubois, J.D. Guérin
Transformation and forming processes of metal imply severe conditions of contact in terms of stress,
temperature and/or sliding velocity. The control of these forming processes requires a perfect
knowledge of the tribological and rheological properties of the involved material. It also requires the
use of more and more efficient lubricants, not only to reduce friction, but also to protect tool and
work-piece surfaces.
A first subject studied by the MSM team is related to the identification of bulk behaviour of metal
alloy (mainly steels) at high temperature. Two scientific lines are here developed. The first one deals
with the behaviour and the defectology of metal alloys at high temperature. It is based on
microstructural and textural approaches. The second one is related to the structural behaviour of
metal after in-situ remelting. It is based on a macroscopic approach. Both scientific lines tend to
identify reliable bulk behaviour law by taking into account the effect of local temperature rise on
material structure. They involve direct and inverse identification algorithms, thermo-visco-plastic
models, damage models, function of stress triaxiality and strain levels. Phase transformations that
may occur at given temperatures are considered by the Jonhson-Mehl-Avrami relations. Results
applications range from the identification of bulk behaviour and damage laws to feed finite element
models, to the quantification of bulk defect occurence in continuous casting, or to the characterization
of the heat affected zones in welding.

M-heat deformed at 1100°C.
Current actions are related to the definition of objective macroscopic criteria of hot ductility and hot
cracking of metal alloys and bimetallic interfaces. Methods are developed to characterize the alloy
according to typical process operating conditions and taking into account the actual thermo-
mechanical history of the material. These methods rely on multi-physics characteristics, divided in
thermal variables (high gradients of heating and cooling, dilatation rate) and mechanical (large strain
rate, to be controlled while characterizing). The next step will be the development of the current
methodologies to study fast austenitization and diffusion phenomena.
The second subject is related to the tribology of metal forming processes. Two major scientific axes are
developed in this subject. The first one concerns the better understanding of tool/lubricant/work piece
interactions during forming. The second one focuses on the characterization of contact and friction
conditions undergoing extreme loading, especially at high temperatures (up to 1200 °C). Both subjects
aim to quantify the influences of phenomena acting at a mesoscopic scale on the whole process
(macroscopic scale). They involve fluid/structure/thermal multi-physics coupling, and macroscopic-
mesoscopic multiscale approaches. They allow to predict extreme surface behaviour and surface
evolutions with time and loadings.
Application fields are numerous: analyses of wear, of adhesion, effect of local strain resulting of the
trapping of lubricant between surface asperities, lubrication defects caused by the growth of oxide
scales at high temperature, prediction of surface damage (scratches, cracks)< Examples of results
obtained these last years are:
the influence of solid particle size on the friction and wear behaviour of hot forging tools
lubricated by graphite in water lubricant. A prototype testing device called WHUST
reproduces industrial hot forging contact conditions. WHUST results are analysed using
microscopic and macroscopic wear markers such as coefficient of friction, sliding length
before scratch, EDS analyses of friction tracks... Tests carried out with different lubricant film
thicknesses and different lubricant particle sizes have shown that the efficiency of the
lubricant film is linked to the structure of the graphite layer more than the lubricant film
thickness.
the prediction of surface roughness after cold rolling of shot blasted stainless steel sheet,
correlated with the gloss of the rolled surface (the gloss being an important quality criteria in
some stainless steel applications). A sequential fluid-structure weak coupling approach was
developed in order to compute the deformation of 2D asperities in mixed lubrication regime.
The cold rolling model involved the strip with its asperities, the lubricant and the working
roll. In order to solve fluid structure interactions, problem was divided in two steps:
o computation using a strong FSI model in the valleys, where hydrostatic effect is
important,
o updating of the volume of each valley to take into account lubricant leakage in the
whole valleys network. Dynamic flow rate (q) was here managed by local Reynolds
equation which included relative speed (Ui1,Ui2,Uroll) and pressure (Pi, Pi-1, Pi+1)
between valleys:
Reynolds equations were solved at the asperity level and lead to the evaluation of the fluid
pressure acting on the asperity sides. Then solid finite element models, where the top of the
asperity was in contact with the working roll and the fluid pressure was applied on asperity
sides, were performed. Reynolds solving and finite element computations were performed on
an asperity, from the entry to the exit of the roll bite. A collaboration with the Danmark
Tekniske Universitet (DTU) is in progress in order to validate these models. The first step of
the collaboration is the achievement of experiments on aluminium strips on which
indentations have been created to represent, one scale upward, the fluid pockets. These tests
are carried out on a specific testing device which involves a glass die. The fluid escape and
entrapment at the asperity level is recorded through the die using a CCD camera. Phenomena
such as Micro Plasto HydroStatic Lubrication (MPHSL) and Micro Plasto HydroDynamic
Lubrication (MPHDL), as well as pockets shrink due to friction and to strip thickness
reduction, are also observed. The second step of the collaboration is the comparison of
experimental results with the sequential fluid-structure weak coupling numerical models.
The next step for the MSM team is to overcome the scientific challenges of high speed tribology. A
new friction stand is in development. Based on a high speed machine engine, it will allow friction
speeds up to 50 m.s-1. Innovative data acquisition channels will be implemented to perform contactless
temperature, speed and acceleration measurements. Collaborations with the DF2T team will be
strengthened to develop thermo-mechanical models of the slider-specimen interface.
2.2 - Theme 2: rheological and tribological behavior of surfaces at high
temperature
2.2.1 Coated metallic Surfaces
Team members: L. Dubar, M. Dubar, A. Dubois, M. Watremez
Coatings represent efficient solutions to protect metal surfaces. They can be hard, used to withstand
important thermo-mechanical loadings (case of PVD or CVD layers to delay wear), or soft, used to
prevent from chemical attacks (case of zinc deposits to protect surfaces from corrosion). Previous
studies have shown that coatings do not only modify the tribological behaviour of the surface, but also
its rheological behaviour, even whith deposit in thin layers. It is therefore essential to characterize the
bulk behaviour in the vicinity of the surface, including the coating and its substrate. A specific reverse
methodology has then been developed to identify coating bulk behaviour. The methodology relies on
innovative homogenisation procedures that do not distinguish the coating from the surface it lies on.
This method offers many advantages:
the thickness of the coating has not to be measured to identify the bulk behaviour law,
it implicitly takes into account the effect of diffusion, or the presence of organo and
intermetallic compounds that may exist at the coating/substrate interface,
the identified bulk behaviour law can be affected to a surface zone thicker than the coating
alone. This peculiarity is very useful for finite element computations. Meshes do not have to
be refined in order to present element size in surface of the same range of the coating
thickness.
Finally, a coupling between bulk behaviour law of coatings, damage and fracture models has been
implemented. The identification methodology has been applied to coated surfaces (PVD and
galvanized coatings) and to mechanically modified surfaces (shot blasted).
The method was used to optimize a skin pass sequence performed on galvanised sheets in order to
reduce zinc fines formation. The skin-pass allows a roughness transfer from the work roll to the
galvanized strip. But during the process zinc particles were teared from the strip and adhered to the
roll. First, tests on galvanized strips were performed and the quantity of zinc fines produced was
measured on the strip and on the tool. Secondly, numerical models were performed with refined mesh
at the vicinity of the contact zone taking into account different surface profiles of the roll. The bulk
behaviour law of zinc coatings was identified and used in the surface of the strip. Material data were
coupled with Lemaitre’s damage criterion in order to predict the wrenching phenomena of the zinc
coating. These predictions were compared to experimental measurements. The correlation was found
to be good and a less polluting roll profile was numerically designed and validated in industry.
Example of the indentation of a zinc coating by roll asperities in the skin-pass of glavanized steel sheet. Comparison between
experimental measurements and numerical simulations, involving Griffith’s fracture model or Lemaitre’s damage model, of
zinc particles tearing from the coatin. (2% of elongation, back tension equal to 0 or 180MPa).
Regarding the tribological performances of surfaces, experimental friction tests have been designed to
simulate thermo-mechanical conditions of contacts close to the industrial ones. Friction tests are
adjustable in terms of contact pressure, plastic strain, sliding velocity, contactors and specimen
temperatures. Contactors and specimens are machined from real tool and work-piece in order to
present the same physical and chemical properties (bulk behaviour, roughness, chemical reactivity<).
Methodologies were developed to identify test parameters adjustments, and to perform reliable and
accurate data processing of the results (identification of coefficient of friction, of damage indicators, of
lubricant efficiency<). Application fields are hot and cold rolling, hot and cold forging, high-speed
machining and braking. Important developments were carried out during the last four years to
improve lubricant application and specimen temperature kinematics. Lubricants can be poured or
sprayed, on the specimen or on the tool surface. The quantity and/or the thickness of lubricants are
controlled. The heating kinetics is optimized to create oxide layers on specimen surface representative
of industrial surfaces. The sensitivities of friction to lubricants, sliding velocities and temperature
variables have been demonstrated. The friction tests and associated methodologies were involved in
the European Coordinate Action “Virtual Intelligent Forging” (VIF CA) Work Package 3, in
partnership with CEMEF (Nice-FR), DIMEG (Padova-I) and IPU (Lyngby-DK).
A new action is starting in the context of the Interrereg IV Pristimat framework, task “new material for
transport applications”. The main subject is the development of “functionally gradient materials” to
increase life of hot forging tools. This work is managed in collaboration with the LCMPA, Laboratory
of CeramicsMaterial Manufacturing, (Maubeuge-FR).
A project related to the prediction of tool life in hot forming will be submitted to the ANR (French
National Research Agency) in March 2011. The project aims to the development of an intelligent
contact element to be implemented in finite element software. The contact element will be linked to a
database to identify the kind of defect that may occur (wear, adhesion, thermal fatigue, etc.), its
severity and its impact on the tool life. The database will be feed with results coming from specific
experimental tests and from industrial case studies. This project will be performed in partnership with
CEMEF (Center for Material Forming, Nice-FR), ICA (Clement Ader Institute, Albi-FR) and the
LaMCoS (Contact and Structural Mechanics Laboratory, Lyon-FR), and five forging industries. It will
involve 3 PhD and one post-doctoral job.
2.2.2 Glass at high temperature: thermal and mechanical behaviours at glass/tool interface
Team members: D. Lochegnies, P. Moreau.
This topic is related to the scientific bolt on the thermal behaviour at glass/tool interface. The GTI
(Glass Tool Interface) platform developed in the Glass Research Centre of LG-Philips in Eindhoven
arrived at the LAMIH in July 2007 is now operational. This platform was purchased due to the end of
research activities in LG-Philips in Eindhoven ; only paper documents were available. Quite two years
were necessary to integrate the equipment in the laboratory, to accumulate experience by self-training,
to solve breaking problems, etc... This platform, unique in the world, reproduces the classical cycle of
glass in the glass forming industry, e.g. the melting, the cutting of the hot glass to create the parison,
the pressing of the parison by instrumented tools with thermocouples and force sensors. This platform
constitutes a real opportunity to pursue investigations on heat transfer at glass/tool interface
developed in the framework of the PhD thesis of S. Gregoire (12/2006-cotutelle with the Faculty of
Mechanical Engineering IDMEC in Porto, Portugal). With GTI, the present activities concern the
analysis of the effect on the lubricant used now in the glass industry on the thermal exchange between
glass and tools during pressing cycles. The first research with GTI is experimental and linked to
lubrication in the case of blank mold used in the perfume bottle industry with extra-white glass. More
than thermal aspects studied during the forming cycles by using GTI, the physical and chemical
aspects of the glass/tool contact are also analyzed with the collaboration of the Glass Division of the
BCRC (Belgium Centre for Ceramic Research) in Mons (Belgium). In the 2008-2009 period which
corresponds to the first year of the research contract with SOGELUB company, investigations have
been realized to determine the GTI forming parameters in order to reproduce with accuracy the
industrial conditions of lubrication and pressing. A specific lubrication system has been designed and
implemented on GTI. Numerous experimentations have been performed to take GTI in hand as
precised above. They have also been used to establish the joint testing procedure to analyze
lubrication using both GTI measurements capabilities and the measurements obtained by the BCRC
equipments.
The first perspective is to focus on the evolution of the thermal, physic and chemical aspects of the
interface behaviour during the cycling pressing of extra-white glass under different lubrication
conditions. Main expected results concern a better knowledge of the life cycle of the lubricant in the
pressing cycle, the impact of lubrication on the tool and on the glass during the pressing. The main
goal is to design a new lubricant improving the present empiricism, common in industry, by these
research investigations.
The second perspective is to study with GTI the sticking conditions at glass/tool interface at high
temperature in presence of lubricant. As for thermal aspects, there is a scientific bolt to be opened on
that matter.
