Abstract

Fused deposition modelling (FDM) is one of the latest rapid prototyping techniques that has a capability to build durable end parts with reasonable mechanical strength. However, mechanical wear critically affects the durability of the FDM build part when used as an end-use part. Since wear is an important phenomenon influencing functionality of a part, this research aims to study the friction and wear behavior of parts made of ABS composite material by FDM. This study also compare the friction and wear characteristics of ABS composite with the existing acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) filament of the FDM machine. The experiment was carried out on the pin-on-disk apparatus according to ASTM G99-04 standard under dry sliding condition that were carried out at room temperature. The load was varied (5, 10, 15 and 20 N) at speed of 286 RPM for the run time of 3 and 5 minutes. The results shown that the applied load and run time significantly affect the wear rate, friction force and friction coefficient of the test samples. Based on the experiment, carbon fibre reinforced ABS specimens showed better wear resistance and durability comparing to pure ABS specimens. This research could be useful to develop a better wear resistance component for various field of applications.
