This state-of-the-art book highlights recent advances and discussions in tribological technologies in sheet metal forming. The contents focus on the fundamentals to the more complex topics such as micro contact and lubricant behaviors, FEM analysis in deep drawing process, usage of tribo-simulators, friction behavior in flat sliding, tribological numerical modeling, and simulation of seizure. This book is a useful reference for academicians and researchers in the field of lubrication, sheet metal forming, and tooling.

Covers the friction behavior in flat sliding, flat dies, etc. Explains the fundamentals and application of tribological technology in sheet metal forming Introduces the solutions for tribological troubles in sheet metal forming
