Influence of lubrication, tool steel composition, and topography on the high temperature tribological behaviour of aluminium

Abstract The use of high strength aluminium alloys, such as 6XXX and 7XXX series, is continuously increasing for automotive applications in view of their good strength-to-weight ratio.Their formability at room temperature is limited and they are thus often formed at high temperatures to enable production of complex geometries.Critical challenges du
