Abstract

The optimization of the hot forging process strategy is essentially based on the determination of the tribological properties, which is a key point in most shaping process. In this study, the experimental process dedicated to the friction and wear of the deformed metal at high temperature. Forging test can be realized in accordance with many and different thermomechanical properties. Following this optimization policy, a numerical model was developed to simulate the process of hot forging and calibrate the experimental device before the starting test. All experimental investigations have simulated actual contact conditions encountered in industrial sites of the hot forming, particularly the different stresses at the tool/workpiece interface is discussed. Moreover, to fight against the various thermomechanical stresses, an alumina coating is developed by the sol-gel process and then was applied to the forging tool. It was concluded that the coating improves tribological and mechanical properties of AISI 304 stainless steel, compared to other antagonists used for forging. Indeed, the ability of the sol-gel coating to prevent wear and metal transfer from samples on the forging tool.
