Özet

Three-dimension (3D) printing technology, also known as additive manufacturing, is a manufacturing technology that creates three-dimensional objects by depositing material layer by layer, as opposed to subtractive manufacturing methods. However, the newness of the technology brings with it many unknowns. In particular, the raw materials used are constantly increasing. For this reason, testing each raw material used in many aspects and to determine the optimum production conditions is important for the wide use of 3D printing technology. These optimal conditions may be the parameters used to produce a material, and sometimes they can appear as a new material. In addition, the production of new materials with varying production parameters is fundamental research topic that requires comprehensive study. For all these purposes, in this study, a new material type known as Lubri PLA (LPLA) was selected and produced in different filling types and subjected to a series of friction and wear tests. Thus, it is aimed to determine the tribological properties of the material. Additionally, samples were produced in ten different infill types (grid, lines, triangels, hexagon, cubic, octal, zigzag, diagonal, diagonal 3D and gyroid) to show the effect of filler type on friction and wear behavior. These filler types were used for both PLA and Lubri PLA materials and a total of twenty samples were produced. Thereby, it is aimed to conduct a comprehensive study showing the effect of both material difference and filling type on friction-wear behavior. Diameter deviations, hardness deviations, friction coefficient, temperature, specific wear rates (SWr), and vibration were selected as output parameters. According to the analysis of the test results, the best result in terms of material structure was given by Lubri PLA, while the best result in terms of filling type was obtained with Diagonal 3D filling type. In addition, the lowest vibration level was obtained in the LP-Diagonal 3D sample with 0.041 mm/s2, while the highest vibration level was obtained in the P-Grid sample with 1.756 mm/s2.Highlights LPLA closed to nominal value in diameter and hardness deviations Addition of graphite nanoparticle increased the dimensional accuracy Diagonal 3D infill type Lubri PLA composites showed the superior performance Graphite modified Lubri PLA composites demonstrated superior performance The Graphical Abstract is proper for publication. image
