Abstract

This chapter delves into the intricate world of tribology, focusing on the scratch tests of additively manufactured 316L stainless steel under light-loading conditions. The study reveals how the microstructure of the material, particularly its crystallographic orientation, significantly influences wear and friction. Through advanced imaging techniques like SEM and EBSD, the research provides invaluable insights into the relationship between microstructure and tribological properties. The study also explores the impact of macro-scale defects, such as porosity, on the coefficient of friction. The results suggest that engineering the crystallographic orientation could be a key strategy in reducing wear debris generation, a critical factor in the longevity of biomedical implants. The chapter concludes with a discussion on the potential of metal additive manufacturing in achieving this goal.
