Detecting galling onset in aluminum alloy stamping, Part I

Galling is cold welding of sheet metal particles to the surface of the stamping die. This permanent deposit often occurs when metal surfaces are in contact and sliding against each other. Researchers at the Oakland University Center of Advanced Manufacturing and Materials (CAMM) recently conducted a study to determine which combination of die material, die… Continue reading Detecting galling onset in aluminum alloy stamping, Part I
