Hot stamping has become the main technology to produce complex-shaped high-strength steel components. However, hot sheet metal forming can cause high rates of die wear and the scratching of the productions. A hot drawing tribo-simulator was designed to investigate the friction and wear behavior of high strength steel at elevate temperature. The value of the friction coefficient was obtained to examine the function of the tribo-simulator. The results prove that the coefficient of friction in hot stamping can be measured using this tribo-simulator. Moreover, the coefficient of friction is able to be used in finite element simulation to improve the accuracy of the modeling results and it is also an important indicator to evaluate the tribological behavior between the die and sheet metal.
