- −
- the specimens tested in the BUT test exhibit a tendency to an increase in the value of the coefficient of friction with the increasing relative elongation; this relationship is observed for both the specimen orientations and contact conditions analysed; the lubricant reduced the coefficient of friction, but the intensity of its action in the test results analysed depends on the specimen orientation and the value of the surface roughness of the counter-samples; for both sample orientations, the greatest efficiency of lubrication is observed for the small values of sheet deformation,
- −
- in the DBT, the most pronounced differences in friction were due to the surface roughness, while the orientation showed to have only a minor influence; moreover, an increase in the draw bead height leads to an increase in the value of the coefficient of friction,
- −
- in the SDT, the value of the coefficient of friction decreases as the contact pressure increases for both dry and lubricated conditions; the effectiveness of the reduction of the coefficient of friction by the lubricant clearly depended on the specimen orientation and surface roughness of the counter-samples.
