Abstract
A backward can extrusion test provides severe tribological conditions because high pressure, high temperature, and large surface expansion ratio affect the lubricant. During the forward stroke these conditions intensify with increasing cup depth of the extruded workpiece; additionally, the back-stroke force during retraction of the punch rises to a significant level under a poor-lubricated condition. This study estimates the coefficient of friction μp between punch and workpiece during the back-stroke by combining experiments using conventional soap-phosphate coated steel and numerical analysis by FEM. The values of μp were estimated to be 0.09 and 0.03 in case of small and large workpiece depth, respectively. Friction decreased with elevating temperature.
