Abstract
To realize a dry sheet metal forming process, α-Fe2O3 oxide layers were investigated regarding their friction characteristics, wear behavior and surface energy depending on different surface qualities of the specimens examined. The oxide layers were generated in a new hybrid batch furnace. The layer generation on all specimens of the tool steel 1.2379 used was performed at a target temperature below the annealing temperature (≈ 510 °C). Friction coefficients were examined with plane strip drawing tests. Wear experiments with oxidized wear specimens with variable surface topographies were carried out up to several thousand strokes per surface condition.
