    The idea of sustainability and resource conservation promotes the development of energy-efficient and low-emission production processes. A lubricant-free sheet metal forming process is considered as one of these environmentally friendly production technologies. Metal forming processes without conventional lubricants shorten process steps and reduce additional costs, such as removal of residual lubrication from the workpiece after forming. In order to realize such a dry forming process and effectively control the material flow, amorphous carbon coatings were applied to the tool surfaces and a brushing process was carried out as a surface finishing process for roughness adjustment. Laser generated micro features on the surface should make an effective contribution to local friction adaptation. The transferability of strip drawing test to strip bending rotation test was successfully demonstrated by dry and oiled blank reference tests. The first modification of the tool sided surface was achieved by applying ta-C and a-C:H layers. The influence of the coatings on the tribological behaviour was determined in strip drawing tests for DC04 and AA5182. Additional friction adaptation is made possible by the fine and flexible laser based micro texturing of the coated tool surface. Experiments were carried out with different coverage and depth of the laser generated features in order to analyze the tribological influence. Flat and deep features with a degree of coverage of 20 %, 35 % and 50 % are considered in order to analyze the factors influencing their tribological behavior. Compared to ta-C coated references, it can be seen that micro features on the ta-C coated tool surface causes a friction reduction for DC04, independent of the features depth. However, deep laser generated features in particular lead to an increase in friction for AA5182, so that this could potentially lead to a selective local increase in friction in the flange area. For the transferability of the tribological system from the flat application case to a curved tool surface, the basics for laser based texturing of cylinder surfaces are illustrated. The limits of the holographic beam shaping technology used for this are demonstrated.

    Lubricant free forming with tailored tribological conditions
    Changed ecological and economic situations motivate research into environmentally friendly and efficient manufacturing processes. Forming without lubricant has the potential to meet both requirements by avoiding the usage of environmentally harmful lubricants and shortening the process chain by omitting lubricant application and component cleaning. Within the scope of the project, an increase in friction and adhesive wear were identified as major challenges, resulting in failure of components due to cracking. Therefore, this project focused on the investigation of measures to meet these challenges. Amorphous carbon coatings, the reduction of roughness and the application of discrete microtextures were considered as potential measures. Hydrogen-containing amorphous carbon coating systems (a-C:H) fabricated by reactive physical vapor deposition (PVD), plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) and PVD/PECVD hybrid techniques, as well as a PVD-generated tetrahedral hydrogen-free amorphous carbon coating (ta-C) were investigated with respect to their properties and tribological performance Three specific profile requirements –a dopant free carbon network, smooth and defect-free surfaces and a high coating adhesion to substrate –are identified as requirements, in order to prolonger the service life of the coated tools. Moreover, to enable the steering of the material flow ultrafast laser based micro texturing for locally tailored tribological conditions were investigated. Thereby two wavelength dependent ablation regimes which differ in ablation mechanism and freedom of form were identified. Using these approaches the friction coefficient could either be reduced by up to 20 % or selectively increased. To improve the efficiency of the process, several beam shaping approaches were evaluated to provide a homogeneous beam profile for uniform modification. By applying ta-C and a-C:H coatings in forming tests, the findings of the laboratory tests were validated and the feasibility of lubricant free deep drawing was proven. In order to benefit from the forming-process-specific advantages, high quantities and therefore high durability of the measures are required. An application-oriented wear test rig has been designed to investigate their durability. By this, it was proven that 3 000 components can be produced from DC04 without wear with both a-C:H and ta-C coatings, and thus increasing tool life by a factor of 15 compared to unmodified tools. Even in the case of wear-critical AA5182, 3 000 parts were produced without wear using ta-C. Within the scope of the project, a fundamental understanding of lubricant free deep drawing processes and measures was created and proof of feasibility in form of a high number of components was achieved.
