Coated sheet steels have been increasingly used in automotive industry for improving corrosion resistance. One of the arised concerns is frictional behavior of coated sheet steel in stamping process. But analyses of the frictional behavior are complex and difficult. A tensile strip test has been developed for evaluating friction under the condition which simulate the stretching of sheet. Tests are conducted under different die radius and lubrication conditions. Electro-galvanized steel sheets show a lower coefficient of friction than bare steel sheets whose coated layers have been chemically removed. The coefficients of friction are independent of die radius.
