“…In a recent study, Hong et al described the tribological properties of VisiJet M3 crystal plastic materials with convex and concave geometric structures of circles and squares, prepared by the IJP method. 73 Dry sliding tests were performed using a ball-on-disc configuration with standard SUJ2 steel counter body. At an applied load of 1 N, unstructured samples exhibited the lowest friction coefficient of about 0.025, while coefficients of printed structural specimens were consistently higher than the blank one.…”

The rapid development of three-dimensional (3D) printing technology opens great opportunities for the design of various multiscale lubrication structures. 3D printing allows high customization of arbitrary complex structures and rapid prototyping of objects, which provides an avenue to achieve effective lubrication. Current experimental observations on superlubricity are limited to atomically smooth clean surfaces, extreme operating conditions, and nano-or microscales. With the in-depth exploration of 3D printed lubrication, construction of multifunctional 3D structures with refined dimensions spanning from micronanoscale to macroscale is increasingly regarded as an important means to approach superlubricity and has aroused great scientific interest. To document recent advances in 3D printing for structural lubrication, a detailed literature review is provided. Emphasis is given on the design and lubrication performance of geometric and bioinspired lubrication structures with characteristic dimensions. The material requirements, merits, drawbacks, and representative applications of various 3D printing techniques are summarized. Potential future research trends aiming at the design strategy and manufacturing process of 3D printed lubrication structures are also highlighted.

“…It can also be found mechanical material structure studies for 3D-printed polymers (Ferreira et al , 2017; Morris et al , 2019; Senatov et al , 2016; Song et al , 2017). Few articles in literature deal with the tribological characteristics of the printed structure (Bustillos et al , 2017; Ertane et al , 2018; Hong et al , 2017). This indicates the timeliness of the topic.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the impact of three-dimensional (3D)-printing process settings (particularly print orientation) on the tribological properties of different polymers. Design/methodology/approach In this study, fused deposition modelling 3D-printing technology was used for fabricating the specimens. To evaluate the influence of print orientation, the test pieces were manufactured horizontally (X) and vertically (Z). The tribological properties of various printed polymers, which are polylactide acid, high tensile/high temperature-polylactide acid and polyethylene terephthalate-glycol have been studied. The tribological tests have been carried out under reciprocating sliding and dry condition. Findings The results show that the presence of various orientations during the 3D-printing process makes a difference in the coefficient of friction and the wear depth values. Findings suggest that printing structure in the horizontal orientation (X) assists in reducing friction and wear. Originality/value To date, there has been very limited research on the tribology of objects produced by 3D printing. This work was made as an attempt to pave the way for future research on the science of tribology of 3D-printed polymers.

“…Despite their relatively reduced mechanical and structural properties compared with most metallic and ceramic composites [3], polymer-based materials (PBM) exhibit excellent self-lubricating properties, providing an advantage in tribo-pair applications such as lip seals, rollers, ball bearings and artificial joints [4]. A highly crosslinked PBM is crucial in preventing material loss and fragmentation during surface contact in tribological application [5]. Nevertheless, the effect of print orientation introduces a new set of challenges when characterising both the friction and wear of these materials.…”

The use of additive manufacturing (AM) is widely advancing the scope of rapid prototyping and manufacturing in tribological applications and material science research. However, there is still limited research focused on investigating the frictional and wear performance of AM polymers, especially of Polyjet manufactured parts. This work focuses on the effect of varying the contact load on the friction and wear mechanisms of additively manufactured acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (3D ABS) and Verogray polymers fabricated using Polyjet technology. Loads of 1, 5 and 10 N were applied under dry sliding contact with a 52100 steel counterface at room temperature. Dependence of friction and wear on the surface orientation to the sliding direction is noted. The results demonstrate that at 1 N load, the friction coefficient is primarily dependent on the orientation of the surface to the sliding direction. However, at higher loads of 5 N and 10 N, this dependency is shown to be a function of the bulk material properties rather than the surface roughness. Further correlation between the surface morphology and wear rate is shown to be dependent on the bulk material properties and the applied load. The results from this study provide alternate application uses for Polyjet materials in metal-polymer tribo-contacts for improved friction and wear performance.
