06Cr15Ni4CuMo Selective Laser Melted Additive Manufacturing Technology Steel: Mechanical and Tribological Properties
摘要
The present study observed the mechanical and tribological properties of 06Cr15Ni4CuMo steel, a novel martensitic stainless steel, manufactured using the additive manufacturing (SLM) technique. The martensitic phase was observed, with B.C.C in the microstructure; hence, martensitic 410 steel was taken for comparison. After SLM processing, the compressive strength of the 06Cr15Ni4CuMosample was determined to be 1042 MPa, which is more than 50% greater than the compressive strength of 650 MPa for SS410. The scratch test involved applying incremental loads ranging from 0.3 N to 30 N to assess the friction and penetration depth. A visible scratch deformation occurred only at the highest load. The coefficients of friction for both samples were found to be relatively similar. Images were captured via a scanning electron microscope (SEM) to visualize the scratch mechanism which was found to be chipping. White light interferometry (WLI) analysis indicated that the SLM-processed 06Cr15Ni4CuMo sample exhibited a scratch roughness 6 µm greater than SS410.
