6. Conclusion

The shaping of metallic materials has become a highly technical industrial sector in constant progress, with a large number of problems requiring the use of high-performance tools. Among these tools, information technology plays a key role. Thanks to advances in computer processing speed and the development of increasingly powerful calculation software to simulate the mechanical, thermal, metallurgical and tribological phenomena involved in forming, design engineers can design operations at lower cost, and speed up their development and optimization. In this quest for ever greater knowledge and control of forming operations, software will always need increasingly precise experimental data on the behavior and evolution of materials, and their interactions via friction and wear. It is therefore important not to neglect the development of rheological and tribological testing alongside that...
