The problem of an effect of tool speed on forming of metal with differ
ent flow propel-ties has been examined on the basis on a finite elemen
t method with allowance for mass loads, It has been demonstrated that
at a setting speed of > 10 m/s strain tends to be localized near the c
ontact surface which brings about more intensive contact slip, It has
been shown theoretically that mechanism of metal forming in high-speed
setting cannot be explained only from rheological or tribological vie
wpoints.
