Abstract
Application of the bending-under-tension-test to study the friction behavior of six zinc-based coated sheet steels is considered. The details of a laboratory test system are presented along with an analysis of the methods used to reduce the data. Several theoretical treatments exist in the literature; however, those that incorporate sheet bending have been shown to yield more accurate results. For coated sheet steels, the assumption that the friction coefficient is constant with contact pressure is considered in an analysis of the dependence of friction coefficient on contact pressure.
