AbstractTo overcome the disadvantage of the bulging effect due to non-uniform deformation in dimension measurement of the conventional ring compression test (RCT), a new measuring method for the friction factor called ring compression test with inner boss (RCT-IB) was proposed. The compression behavior of the ring with an inner boss was investigated and results showed that the change of inner boss was sensitive to friction. The non-concave profile of inner boss allows the dimensional changes to be easily and precisely measured. The calibration curves of RCT-IB were constructed and compared with those of RCT showing similar level of sensitivities at most friction conditions. The RCT-IB method was successfully used to measure the friction factors under four different lubricating conditions.

IntroductionFriction at the tool-workpiece interface has significant effects on the metal flow, forming load, surface quality and tool life in metal forming processes. Friction condition is also an important input parameter in simulating metal forming 2 processes using commercial or in-house codes. Therefore, the friction condition mostly defined by the friction factor should be quantitatively assessed in the design and evaluation of metal forming processes. The ring compression test (RCT), which was firstly proposed by Kunogi [1] and further developed by Mal...
