Influence of the contact pressure in the deep drawing processes is a very actual research topic in the metal forming technology. Within this research the tribological model of the strip sliding in the flat die was developed. The original experimental computerized apparatus for testing of the strip sliding in the variable contact pressure conditions was developed, as well. The complex, multi-factor experiment was performed by application of the Al thin sheet, with the contact elements of various roughnesses, with different lubricants application and with the variable contact pressure. Besides the description of the developed apparatus, the theoretical way for determination of the pressure dependences was also presented. Based on the theoretical changes of pressure, set in advance, the real influence of the contact pressure was obtained, for each of the given conditions. That makes possible to determine the influence of the tribological factors on the actual pressure. The obtained real contact pressure has verified the reliability of the experimental apparatus, namely the degree of the theoretical pressure dependences deviation from the real ones.

The spot welded thin steel sheets specimens are experimentally and numerically examined in this paper. The two specimens are joined using Resistance Spot Welding (RSW) method. The spot-welded joints consist of three zones with different material properties. Change of material properties during the welding process is caused by mechanical and thermal loading. The mechanical properties of thin steel sheets are determined by several tension tests. The specimens are cut in three different directions regarding a rolling direction of the basic material plate. Shear resistance of the spot welded joints is experimentally examined on the universal testing machine by displacement-controlled tensile loading tests. The numerical analysis is performed by large-strain plasticity theory implemented into a Finite Element Method based software. Comparison of the Finite Element (FE) modeling and experimental results verifies the proposed stress integration algorithm and modeling technique as powerful tools for prediction of the spot-welded joint behavior.

Kovački alati su dijelovi, koji rade na povišenim temperaturama, dok su istodobno izloženi promjenljivim opterećenjima, koja mogu biti tlačna - čak i udarna i smična. Utjecaj tehnologije navarivanja je vrlo jak, pošto se variranjem njegovih parametara direktno utječe na izlazne karakteristike navarenih slojeva. Kriterij za procjenu tog utjecaja bio je utemeljen na rezultatima obavljenih triboloških ispitivanja. Praćeni tribološki parametri bili su faktor trenja, širina traga (brazgotine) habanja kao i površina habanja navarenih slojeva, uz uporabu dva tipa maziva. Tehnologija navarivanja je podrazumijevala selekciju procesa zavarivanja, dodatnih materijala, temperature predgrijavanja i ostalih parametara procesa navarivanja. Utjecaj predložene tehnologije navarivanja je određivan praćenjem tvrdoće, mikrostrukture i otpornosti na habanje izvedenih spojeva, nakon navarivanja i nakon otpuštanja. Cilj ovog rada bio je uspostavljanje korelacija izabrane tehnologije navarivanja, dodatnih materijala i primijenjene toplinske obrade s mehaničkim i tribološkim karakteristikama izvedenih navarenih slojeva., The forging dies are parts, which are operating at elevated temperatures, while simultaneously subjected to variable loads that can be compressive - even impact and shear. Impact of the hard facing technology is very strong since varying of the hard facing parameters directly affects the output characteristics of the hard faced layers. The criterion for estimating that impact was based on results of performed tribological investigations. The tribological parameters that were monitored were the friction coefficient, the wear scar/trace width and the wear area of the hard faced layers, with the two different types of lubricants. Hard facing technology implied selection of the welding process, filler metals, preheating temperatures and other parameters of the hard facing process. The influence of the proposed hard facing technology was determined by monitoring hardness, microstructure and wear resistance of the executed joints after the hard facing and after tempering. The objective of this work was to establish the correlation between the selected hard facing technology, filler metals and applied heat treatment on mechanical and tribological characteristics of the executed hard faced layers.

This paper outlines the bases of the friction welding process, especially when it comes to friction welding of different materials. This was illustrated on an example of friction welding of aluminum and copper, which is often applied in electrical engineering. The analysis of influential parameters was conducted based on the data obtained by an experiment, since the data on this topic are very seldom in the available literature., Ovaj članak daje osnove procesa zavarivanja trenjem, naročito kada je u pitanju zavarivanje trenjem različitih materijala. To je ilustrirano na primjeru zavarivanja trenjem aluminija i bakra, koji se često primjenjuje u elektrotehnici. Analiza utjecajnih parametara provedena je na temelju podataka dobivenih eksperimentom jer su podaci o ovoj temi vrlo rijetko u dostupnoj literaturi.

This paper outlines the basic principles of welding by friction of high-speed cutting steel and tempered steel from the viewpoint of metallurgic processes that are going on in the material. The bases of welding by friction of different materials are outlined in a theoretical way.
