Friction in cold working
• In cold working under well lubricated
conditions, the frictional conditions at the
tool-work piece interface are such that there
is a sliding motion between the two. The
work piece slides over the tool surface.
• It is called sliding friction or slipping
friction.
Friction in cold working
• If sliding friction conditions exist, friction is
described by Coulomb’s law of friction:
τ = μp
where τ is frictional shear stress at the
interface
p is normal stress and
μ is coefficient of friction (0.1-0.3)

Friction in hot working
• An alternative approach to treat friction in metal
working operations is to consider the friction to be
“sticking”.
• Sticking friction conditions exist particularly in
hot working processes and in those situations
where lubrication is inadequate.
• This approach considers that the work piece in
contact with the tools can be represented as a
material of constant shear strength.
Friction in hot working
• This interface shear strength can be expressed as a
fraction of yield strength of the material in pure
shear (k):
τ=mk
where m is the interface friction factor.
Values of m vary from 0 to 1.
m = 0 indicates perfect sliding.
m = 1 indicates prefect sticking.
Since accurate determination of m value in hot
working is difficult, m is taken to be 1 in the
analysis.
Case (2): sticking friction
k is YS in pure shear.
