Friction and Wear Behavior of Stereolithography (SLA) 3D Printed Components
摘要
Stereolithography (SLA) three-dimensional (3D) printing was widely used because of its capability to manufacture complex components with high dimensional accuracy. Biomed Amber resin (BMAR) is a durable, rigid material designed for biomedical applications. The current investigation is intended to evaluate the tribological behavior of SLA 3D printed BMAR components with alumina (Al2O3) as the counter body under reciprocating mode without lubrication. Sliding time, sliding distance, normal load, and sliding velocity parameters were considered to carry out the test, and its effect on the friction and wear response of the 3D printed BMAR component was evaluated in detail. A 3D profilometer was used to detect wear tracks. The maximum of 0.78 COF was noticed at the sliding distance of 2 mm, 50 N normal load, three hundred seconds of sliding time, and sliding speed of 3 mm/s.
