TRIBOLOGICAL PERFORMANCES OF THE 3D PRINTED MATERIALS USED IN THE CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT FIELD

Aristia-Ioana POPOVICI, Mihail SAVANIU

Abstract


The emerging interest in additive manufacturing (AM) technology imposes research aimed to characterize the behavior of the 3D printed materials in real operating condition. 3D printing is a manufacturing method which is growing in popularity because it is faster, more economical, and environmentally friendly than other classical methods. Also, this method provides new possibilities in design and manufacturing machines due to the advantage of obtaining complex shaped parts. This paper presents the results of tribological investigation for different 3D printed materials produced by the fused filament fabrication (FFF) technology. The studies highlight the friction coefficient for three material couples: Poly Lactic Acid (PLA)-on-steel, Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS)-on-steel and Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol (PET-G)-on-steel. The results show the ranking of the three analyzed materials and which of them has the best tribological properties compared to real coupling.
