This article aims to investigate the influence of different contact conditions on friction properties an Nb-stabilized AISI 430 ferritic stainless-steel sheet with deep drawing quality. Three tribological tests were performed: pin-on-disk, bending under tension, and strip-tension test. Moreover, counter samples a hard metal (WC-12%Co) surface finishes 0.27 0.54 ?m used in dry lubricated conditi...

Easydrawer is a graphical computer application which helps users to draw 2D constructions as they would do on a sheet of paper using a pair of compasses, a ruler and a pen. Easydrawer can significantly increase the productivity of geometrical drawers and help in making the construction process transparent to persons who are currently trained in technical drawing. The application comes with some...

Aluminum alloy sheets have been widely used to build the thin-walled structures by mechanical clinching technology in recent years. However, there is an exterior protrusion located on the lower sheet and a pit on the upper sheet, which may restrict the application of the clinching technology in visible areas. In the present study, an improved clinched joint used to join aluminum alloy sheets wa...
