Abstract
The present disclosure is related to a process for optimizing grinding operations that reduce the overall coefficient of friction and prevent cracking. It was found that changing the grinding direction to be perpendicular to the local sheet metal flow significantly reduces the coefficient of friction and helps prevent stamping cracks. For example, optimizing the grinding direction can help entrap lubricant, which has an observed effect on friction. In some critical areas, grinding along the feed direction can reduce wrinkling.
