This paper investigates the combined effects of parameters such as die surface finish, die directionality of stoning contact pressure and draw speed on the resulting coefficient of friction. Also, this study show the correlation between the NN(Neural Network) and DOE(Design of Experiments) to reduce the number of experiments without the loss of the effects of parameter upon coefficient of friction. The experiments were run in random order with at least three replicates. It was found that the directional stoning orthogonal to the pulling direction is lower friction than directional stoning parallel to the pulling directi on using FCD55 die and SPCEN.
