Abstract
The invention relates to a process and a measuring apparatus for determining the friction characteristics of sheet metal during forming. To do this, a strip-shaped sample of sheet metal ( ) is clamped between two gripping jaws ( ) and drawn by a drawing device ( ), for preference at a constant drawing speed. During the drawing, the surface pressure (F )is continually increased. From the values allocated to the surface pressure (F )and to the drawing force (F ), applying the known formula &mgr;=F /F , the friction characteristics dependent on the surface pressure are calculated.
