Wear characteristics of die surface in deep drawing of stainless steel 304 by using finite element simulation

Abstract

The characteristics of adhesive wear of TiN coating in drawing process by using finite element method were carried out to investigate the effects of drawing angles and sliding velocities of punch to explained wear index. Bending radius of die was used to increase the contact pressure between stainless sheet and TiN coating surface. Three sliding velocities (0.5, 1 and 5 mm/s) were studied each bending angle between (0O to 90O) by keeping the hardness of material coating to 24 GPa (HV.0.05). The results showed that the wear index were decreased with drawing angle but sliding speed of punch was not affected in slightly speed.
