Abstract

The main idea of this study is to investigate the wear behavior of 3D printed part of carbon fibre reinforced ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) and compare the result with the pure ABS that will be printed the same way. The 3D printer used was a FDM (fused deposition modeling) type. The tests were performed on a pin on disk machine according to ASTM G 99 standard under dry sliding condition. The parameters used were 5,10,15,20 and 25 N of applied load and 0.6 m/s or 286 RPM sliding speed for the duration of 3 minutes and 5 minutes. The results of the tests showed that there are two main wear mechanisms that influenced the results of the tests which are abrasive and adhesive. The results also shown that the varied parameters chosen which are applied load and run time duration could affect the wear rate, rate of volume loss, friction force and friction coefficient of the test samples. Carbon fibre reinforced ABS specimens showed a better wear resistance and durability properties than ABS specimens when operating with high load and long time duration. This research could be useful to the wear resistant industries in the future as it could develop a better wear resistance component for various field of applications.
