Anisotropy can influence surface function and can be an indication of processing. These
influences and indications include friction, wetting, and microwear. This article studies two …

The objective of this research is to determine the strengths of correlation, and their variation
with scale, between friction coefficients and topographic characterization parameters …

While texturing of workpiece surfaces to promote lubrication in metal forming has been
applied for several decades, tool surface texturing is rather new. In the present paper, tool …

Slips and falls are common occupational incidents worldwide. The friction on a floor surface
is one of the critical environmental factors affecting the risk of a slip. In this research, we …

The increasing focus on environmental issues in industrial production has resulted in
various attempts to develop new, environmentally friendly tribology systems for metal …

Ziel der Arbeit war die Realisierung des Trockentiefziehens, da Schmierstoffe und
Reinigungsmittel oft umweltschädliche Substanzen enthalten und eine längere Prozesskette …

This thesis describes measures taken to minimize or substitute environmentally hazardous
lubricants applied in sheet metal forming processes by less harmful lubricants or not …

The manufacture of dies and moulds is a critical aspect of many production systems since
the manufacturing and try-out of new dies and moulds often is essential in determining the …

Anisotropy of functional surfaces can in many practical cases significantly influence the
surface function. Tribological contacts in sheet forming and engine applications are good …

Anisotropy of surface texture can in many practical cases significantly affect the interaction
between the surface and phenomena that influence or are influenced by the topography …
