It is well known that friction conditions prevailing at the interface
of die-workpiece have a profound effect on material deformation,
forming load, component surface finish, internal structure of
the product, as well as die wear characteristics in metal forming
processes. To avoid the appearance of excessive friction, it is indispensable
to use lubricants with efficient intrinsic low-friction
properties in the cold rotary forging process of spur bevel gears.
In addition, as an essential input parameter for the FE simulation
