Abstract

The use of lubricants without conversion layers is a global target of the cold forging industry. Compared to conventional lubricant systems based on zinc phosphate coatings, these fluctuate more in their tribological properties. In a worldwide round robin test, thirteen different lubricants were compared in tests with six different tribometers. The results show significant differences in friction coefficients both between different lubricants and between tribometers. A multiple regression model describing the dependence of the coefficient of friction on tribological loads allows for a consistent merging of the data. The model is successfully validated by a full-forward extrusion process.
