Abstract
Punching/blanking is one of the tribologically wise most severe metal forming processes.Insu $cient
lubrication leads to heavy pick-up of work piece material on the punch stem,bad tolerances and eventual
breakdown of the punch due to excessive backstroke force,especially in case of tribologically di $cult work
piece materials like stainless steels.For this group of materials few alternatives exist as regards appropriate
lubricants and many companies apply the environmentally hazardous chlorinated para $n oils in order to insure
a uccessful production.In connection with development of alternative lubricants the present paper describes
a new lubricant test for punching.
