Triboanalysis in Industry for PVD-coated Stamping Dies
Journal Title: Tribology in Industry - Year 2014, Vol 36, Issue 1
Abstract
The application of hard wear-resistant coatings is expanding into various sectors of industry to protect tools and other components from failure caused by wear and corrosion. However, in forming industry it is still rather an exception than a rule to find coated forming dies. This study has objectives to investigate wear behaviour of P/M Vanadis 6 ledeburitic steel with PVD-TiN and TiCN coatings. The tests were carried out in the laboratory and industrial process conditions. The obtained results under operating conditions show that the application of PVD coatings appears as a very effective method for increasing the lifetime and wear resistance of cold stamping dies.

Wear Behavior of PVD-Coatings
In cold forging high tribological loads often lead to premature tool failure. If the cause of failure is wear, an extension of tool life can be achieved by applying PVD coatings. According to the different load cases ap...
Contact Pressure and Sliding Velocity Maps of the Friction, Wear and Emission from a Low-Metallic/Cast-Iron Disc Brake Contact Pair
Particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter less than 10 µm (PM10) from car disc brakes contribute up to 50% of the total non-exhaust emissions from road transport in the EU. These emissions come from the wear of the...
