Thanks to less friction, it is possible to deep draw much further in a single stage without damaging the material. For example, two forming steps are sufficient instead of three conventional ones.

Small cylindrical parts are often formed through deep drawing — a process by which a punch forms the finished piece from a ...

Friction is a force that opposes motion. It is present whenever two surfaces rub over each other, such as when you rub your hands together, or when you apply the brakes on a bike or in a car.
