THE INFLUENCE OF THE ADDITION OF GRAPHITE ON THE TRIBOLOGICAL PROPERTIES OF POLYLACTIC (PLA) APPLIED IN 3D PRINTING TECHNOLOGY
Journal Title: Tribologia - Year 2018, Vol 277, Issue 1
Abstract
The article presents the results of studies on the influence of the addition of graphite to a PLA filament on linear wear and the coefficient of friction. A cylinder of 8 millimetre diameter manufactured in Fused Filament Fabrication process, popularly called 3D printing was used as a specimen. Studies were conducted on pin-on-disc testing machine, in which the cylinders mentioned above were paired with a steel disc – the counter-specimen. Specimens used in research were enriched by 5%, 10%, 20%, and 30% of graphite in comparison to the base filament – Natural PLA, which were not enriched with any additions that could improve its tribological properties. The experiment was conducted as a preliminary research. The gained results create a basis to select the optimal composition of additions to the PLA to create a filament with better tribological properties.<br/><br/>
