According to a study from Shanghai, People's Republic of China, "Galling is a known failure mechanism in automotive stamping. It results in increased cost of die maintenance and scrap rate of products."

"In this study, rectangular pan and U-channel stamping experiments are used to (1) investigate the effect of stress states on galling performance in sheet metal forming, (2) select proper tool materials and surface treatments for improved galling properties, and (3) differentiate galling performances of bare and coated steel sheets. The results indicate that problems with galling are of major interest at the regions where sheet materials deform under the action of ...
