The wall ironing process has been studied using
combined experimental and numerical approach in many
researches. Van der Aa at al [6] applied both techniques for
analysis of the ironing process of polymer coated
aluminium and steel sheets. They developed plane strain
strip ironing device in order to investigate the influence of
the ironing reduction, velocity and die angle on the process
forces and friction. FE simulations of the process have been
performed using an arbitrary Lagrange. Experimentally
obtained friction coefficients were directly used in
numerical simulations. Experiments and numerical
simulation have proved to be complementary
