influences the nature of transfer layer formed at the interface
between die and sheet during forming. In the present
investigation, basic studies were conducted using 'Inclined
Scratch Test' to understand the mechanism of transfer layer
formation during sliding of pins made of an Al-Mg alloy on EN8
steel flats of different surface roughness under dry and
lubricated conditions. The surfaces produced can be categorized
into three different types: (a) uni-directional (b) 8-ground and
(c) random. Rubbing the EN8 flat in a uni-directional manner and
a criss-cross manner on emery sheets produced the uni-
directional and 8 ground surfaces. The random surfaces were
produced by polishing the EN8 flats using various abrasive
powders. The influence of the 'nature of surfa
