Dry shearing of metal material and polymers (Completed)

With the absence of lubricants in the manufacturing of sheet metal parts it is possible to save considerable costs. This means, however, that in the shearing process without using lubricants the same quality of the cut edges has to be guaranteed. In addition, new tool concepts have to be used for the improvement of the wear behavior of the active tool elements.
