- Transfer and accumulation of adhered sheet material, generally referred to as galling, is a major cause for tool failure in sheet metal forming. In the present work, the galling resistance of three different tool materials was evaluated in lubricated sliding against austenitic stainless steel using a SOFS tribometer. All tool materials were prepared to four different surface roughnesses, ranging from a polished surface with R (a) = 0.05 mu m to a ground surface with R (a) = 0.3 mu m. The overall best performance was obtained for polished nitrogen alloyed powder metallurgy (PM) tool steel, where galling was detected only at the highest load evaluated, 700 N. However, for both the D2 type tool steel and nodular iron, best performance was observed for the surface possessing a surface roughness of 0.1 mu m. The improved galling resistance for the rougher surfaces was related to filling of grinding scratches with sheet material during the initial stage of sliding, prolonging the development of protruding sheet material on the tools surface. Similar trend was not observed for the PM steel, which was related to width of the scratches originating from the surface preparation, in relation to tool microstructure.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Tool damage in sheet metal forming of stainless steel is of high concern for the forming industry. In the present work, ingot cast AISI D2 and advanced powder metallurgy tool steel (PM) cold-work tool steels were evaluated and ranked regarding wear mechanisms and galling resistance. Wear tests were performed using a slider-on-flat-surface (SOFS) tribometer in sliding against austenitic–ferritic (duplex) stainless steel sheets at different contact pressures in lubricated conditions. The best galling resistance was observed for the nitrogen alloyed PM tool steels. Abrasive scratching of the tool surfaces and transfer of sheet material due to adhesive wear were the main metal forming tool surface damage mechanisms. By increasing the hardness of one PM sheet metal forming tool grade, the galling resistance was enhanced.

Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- In sheet metal forming processes, contact pressures are relatively high and total sliding distances are long, which demands tool steels to prevent tool damage and to resist galling. Galling is related to microscopic and macroscopic material transfer, but, the mechanisms of initiation are not thoroughly understood.To investigate galling initiation, lubricated sliding testing in the Slider-On-Flat-Surface (SOFS) tribometer was performed for ingot cast (IC) AISI D2 type and nitrogen alloyed powder metallurgy (PM) tool steel. The sheet grade was EN 1.4509 ferritic stainless steel. To reveal mechanisms in the early stages of galling initiation, transfer and accumulation of sheet material to the tool surfaces were characterized using AFM and SEM.It was found that already after a short sliding distance, transfer of sheet material occurred covering both the matrix and the hard phases. Macroscopic analysis of the contact area showed that initial material transfer and further lump growth occurred at positions corresponding to high plastic strains in the sheet material. Even though initial material transfer was observed for both tested tool steels, the sliding distance to the point where transfer and further lump formation occurred was longer for the PM tool steel. This was discussed in correlation to differences in size and distribution of the hard phases in the tool steels, which was confirmed by AFM and SEM.

- EN 1.4301 (austenitic), EN 1.4509 (ferritic), EN 1.4162 (duplex) and EN 1.4310 C1000 (metastable austenitic) stainless steels were tested in lubricated sliding against an ingot cast EN X153WCrMoV12 and powder metallurgy nitrogen alloyed Uddeholm Vancron 40 tool steels to reveal critical to galling contact pressure, Pcr. The calculated Pcr were higher for steels with higher strength. At P>Pcr, due to plastic flow of sheet material, the tool is damaged substantially and wear-induced matrix damage causes rapid galling initiation. At P
