Development of coatings for hot forming of aluminum

铝板的热成形可产生良好的生产率，同时在制造复杂形状的零件时提供至关重要的灵活性。然而，一个主要问题是铝与模具表面的粘附性。现有的模具表面涂层和表面处理不能防止热成形过程中的铝粘着。这项拟议的研究试图使用摩擦学系统的方法来解决这个问题，其中将系统地研究模具和工件表面以及粘着机理。简而言之，该项目由两个主要组成部分组成：

The hot forming of aluminum sheets generates good production rates while providing vital flexibility when making parts with complex shapes. A major problem however is the adhesion of aluminum to die surfaces. Existing coatings and surface treatments for die surfaces fall short of preventing aluminum adhesion during hot forming. The proposed research seeks a solution to this problem using a tribological system approach in which both die and workpiece surfaces, as well as adhesion mechanisms, will be studied systematically. Briefly, the project consists of two main components:
