Investigation of Wear Behavior of PA 12 Matrix Ceramic Reinforced Composites Produced by Selective Laser Sintering Method

Abstract

In this study, ceramic-reinforced PA 12 matrix composites were fabricated by using Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) additive manufacturing method with different energy density values. Additionally, dry sliding wear tests were performed at 25 mm/sec and 100 mm/sec velocity values and at 5 N and 20 N wear load values. In conclusion with the tests, it was found that when energy density increases the wear rate increases. The wear rate values are given in Table A.
