The objective of this work was to verify the reliability of combined model and component tests for providing accelerated data for friction and wear characterization of several tool and workpiece materials under solid lubricating conditions. Within this study, two different test methodologies were applied: (i) High Temperature Ring on Ring Tribometer (HT-RRT) and (ii) High Temperature Forming Tribometer (HT-FT) for experimental simulation of solid lubricant functionality within tool/workpiece interaction. The performed lab-tests showed that both test methodologies deliver consistent results and, therefore can be successfully applied in order to characterize the performance of solid lubricants in order to control the coefficient of friction and reduce wear under high temperature conditions.
