Abstract

A technique is described for the evaluation of wear-resistant coatings intended for metal-forming tools. This is based on the plane strain compression test and is intended to be suitable for laboratory operation. An approximate analysis of the frictional conditions is discussed. This facilitates the prediction of the onset of “sticking” between workpiece and tool, which should be avoided. Scanning electron micrographs are included showing typical wear effects on coated and uncoated dies. The effectiveness of the technique as a test for coating adhesion is also illustrated.
