Tool wear occurring in press hardening processes receives insufficient attention since its corresponding measurements and full-scale experiments are complicated and expensive. This paper presents a study of tool wear in press hardening based on laboratory experiments and FE-simulations. Two experimental laboratory setups depending on the contact conditions in press hardening build the base for the wear models implemented in the FE-simulation to predict wear depths. The highest wear depth is found at the radius of the stamping tool and the discrepancies in wear predictions based on the two different laboratory test setups are analyzed.
