When 3D Printing Meets Tribological Demands - Surface Functionalization Technologies as Added Value of Existing and New Emerging Products

Article Preview

Abstract:

3D printed parts and components operate under specific conditions in demanding applications thus requiring additional surface functionality. From the tribological point of view, as-printed surfaces need to enhance their wear resistance or be able to control friction when sliding against other components. The overall focus is to develop a smart approach for functional component optimization through tribo-technical / technological optimization. In this work, the development of a hybrid 3D-printing process was realized by: (i) a combination of production technologies (hybridization), and (ii) customized surfaces by laser processing (functionalization). The focus is set on the increase in the wear resistance by the presence of hard and wear resistant particles embedded in a metallic matrix. For controlled friction behavior self-lubricating layers were deposited on the surfaces.
