Abstract (English)

The 'problem solving' of this proposal is to replace the presently used coolant machining (of cold working tool materials) and stamping (of metallic materials) technologies based on synthetic lubricants by technologies based on lubricant-free machining and stamping, with a strong decrease of dies construction and use costs, and a large environmental impact. The industrial objective of this project is to develop dry or nearly dry stamping operation of different metallic materials, and dry machining operations of different 'difficult to-cut' metallic materials with innovative Superhard Nanocomposite coated dies, mould and cutting tools.
