Wear is one of the most common phenomena encountered in industry, particularly affecting the moving parts of devices, thereby adversely affecting the performance of both the parts and the device as a whole. To overcome this issue, various studies have been conducted both in industry and academia. Various processes are applied to prevent damage to materials in contact with each other. These processes include interventions in the material’s crystal structure (such as surface hardening), the use of various coating materials (such as Polyoxymethylene-POM, Polytetrafluoroethylene-PTFE), and the use of mineral oils with varying viscosities. Most of these measures are applicable to metallic materials. However, this issue is not exclusive to metallic materials; it is also a challenge that needs to be addressed in polymer (composite) materials. In this study, various wear specimens were produced using 3D printers. Production was carried out using polyamide filament containing 30% chopped glass fiber reinforcement (GFRPA) by weight. The produced specimens were divided into two groups, with 100% density, produced in both radial and linear printing directions. These specimens were subjected to radial wear in a pin-on-disk type wear test machine under varying load and displacement parameters. Thus, the wear performance (resistance) of the samples was examined by analyzing the wear tracks and theoretical weight losses.

摘要

Wear is one of the most common phenomena encountered in industry, particularly affecting the moving parts of devices, thereby adversely affecting the performance of both the parts and the device as a whole. To overcome this issue, various studies have been conducted both in industry and academia. Various processes are applied to prevent damage to materials in contact with each other. These processes include interventions in the material’s crystal structure (such as surface hardening), the use of various coating materials (such as Polyoxymethylene-POM, Polytetrafluoroethylene-PTFE), and the use of mineral oils with varying viscosities. Most of these measures are applicable to metallic materials. However, this issue is not exclusive to metallic materials; it is also a challenge that needs to be addressed in polymer (composite) materials. In this study, various wear specimens were produced using 3D printers. Production was carried out using polyamide filament containing 30% chopped glass fiber reinforcement (GFRPA) by weight. The produced specimens were divided into two groups, with 100% density, produced in both radial and linear printing directions. These specimens were subjected to radial wear in a pin-on-disk type wear test machine under varying load and displacement parameters. Thus, the wear performance (resistance) of the samples was examined by analyzing the wear tracks and theoretical weight losses.
