Development of coatings for hot forming of aluminum

铝板的热成型产生良好的生产率，同时在制造复杂形状的零件时提供重要的灵活性。然而，一个主要的问题是铝对模具表面的粘附。现有的用于模具表面的涂层和表面处理不能防止热成形期间的铝粘附。拟议的研究旨在解决这个问题，使用摩擦学系统的方法，其中模具和工件表面，以及粘附机制，将进行系统的研究。简而言之，该项目包括两个主要部分：

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:
