Tribology at high temperatures – A challenge
- Need of applications working under harsh
conditions
- Limited use of conventional lubrication methods

- Boron
steel is increasingly used in many applications such as structural components in the automotive industry
- These parts are processed through hot metal
forming operations
- Toolox 44 is often chosen as tool material in view of
its good mechanical properties even at elevated temperatures
Significance of the materials investigated

Friction coefficient
Average CoF at the steady state region
- For a given load, the CoF decreases as the temperature is
increased
- In general, for a given temperature, the CoF decreases as
the load is increased

Conclusions
- The frictional behaviour is both, load and temperature
- dependant. In general the friction coefficient decreases
as both, temperature and load are increased
- Above 100 °C, development of wear protective layers
- n the boron steel pin surface was observed
- An increase in load resulted in breaking-up of the layers
thus increasing the wear rate
- The formation of stable protective wear layers on the tool
steel surface was noticed at temperatures above 200°C.
