Phenomena of tool adhesion at elevated temperature in V-groove friction test of AA7075

Abstract

Abstract. 7000 series aluminum alloys are high-strength alloys used in various lightweight products in the transportation equipment and aerospace industries. AA7075 extrusions are expected to find further applications in multiple fields, including aircraft parts, automotive parts, and sporting goods. However, the high deformation resistance and surface cracking defects caused by tool galling and adhesion have resulted in extremely low productivity. In this study, the V-groove compression test was proposed as a method to determine the coefficient of friction in hot metal forming. Using AA7075 as the experimental material, what did the V-groove compression test at various temperatures to compare the results with calibration curves created from the numerical analysis and observe the growth of adhesion.
