Here, the die surface sustains high damages shown by high wear and galling of the workpiece on the die surface. To enhance the die lifetime, a novel coating concept based on the PVD (physical vapour deposition) process was developed. In doing so, the hardness and the toughness of the designed layers were varied and adjusted to the demands of AlMg-sheet forming process.enInstitut für Umformtechnik - Technische Universität Dortmundelectromagnetic sheet metal formingphysical vapour Deposition (PVD)Tool design620670conference contribution
