In this paper are presented the results of investigations concerning the relation between friction behaviour and surface topography using various lubricants and initial workpiece surface conditions in ring upsetting and rod extrusion processes. The tests were carried out using either a, liquid lubricant or under clean dry conditions. Two types of workpiece surfaces, random and directional, were prepared by either shotblasting, or EDM or turning to different levels of surface finish. Not only has the friction effect of lubricant and initial surface been studied, but also the surface topography of the finished products has been examined in detail, to obtain a better understanding of the mechanism of lubrication and surface interaction. It was found that, for random surfaces, smoother ones could retain more lubricant and decrease friction resistance. The experimentation also demonstrated that turned surfaces were effective in reducing friction, but the final surface finish of the workpiece was not as good as that from random surfaces.
