Evaluation of friction using cylinder compression test: two novel approaches based on the barreling deformation and forging force

In this paper, two novel and simple approaches are presented for the evaluation of friction in the metal forming processed.By employing the data obtained from a cylinder compression test in addition to the flow curve, the friction coefficient of the process can also be evaluated.Hence, no extra measurement is required.Two new exponential parameters
