Abstract

Fused deposition modeling(FDM) is one of the latest rapid prototyping techniques in which parts can be manufactured at a fast pace and are manufactured with a high accuracy. This research work is carried out to study the friction and wear behavior of parts made of newly developed Nylon6—Fe composite material by FDM. This work also involves the comparison of the friction and wear characteristics of the Nylon6—Fe composite with the existing acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) filament of the FDM machine. This Is carried out on the pin on disk setup by varying the load (5, 10, 15 and 20 N) and speed (200 and 300 r/min). It is concluded that the newly developed composite is highly wear resistant and can be used in industrial applications where wear resistance is of paramount importance. Morphology of the surface in contact with the Nylon6—Fe composite and ABS is also carried out.
