The friction behaviors of steel sheets at the corners of die and punch, under different conditions of surface textures (laser beam texture, shot blast texture), steel sheet rolling directions and lubricants, are studied by both SEM micro-surface observations and friction coefficients measurement. The results show the friction coefficient at the corner of die is smaller than that at the corner of punch during stamping. The friction coefficient along rolling direction is lower than that along transverse direction, especially at the corner of punch. Differential initial surface texture has different sensitivity of friction coefficient to the lubricants. The sheet surface with laser beam texture (LBT) has shown a stronger adaptation to various lubricants than that with shot blast texture (SBT). After stamping, the surface with laser beam texture is still clear, the shot blast texture is indistinct.
