Continuing the look at die materials and wear in stamping AHSS: Part II: Tests for evaluating galling, wear of tool materials and coatingsStampers use tests to evaluate tool materials and coatings for wear issues. The main tests are scratching tests, twist compression test, strip-reduction tests, and forming tests.
