Tribological Aspects of Additive Manufacturing provides a technical discussion on the roles of the 3D printing process in processing polymeric-, metallic-, and ceramics-based additive manufactured products in order to improve the tribological properties. It explores design flexibility, waste minimization, and cost reduction.
Emphasizing the various types of additive manufacturing technologies, this book demonstrates how these can effectively influence the tribological properties of additively manufactured components. It examines 3D printing process parameters, carbon fiber reinforcement, natural fiber reinforcement, and surface structure on tribological properties of 3D-printed parts. The book also covers wear and friction resistance of additively manufactured parts prepared with natural fiber and carbon fiber.
This book will be a useful reference for undergraduate and graduate students and academic researchers in the fields of materials science, tribology, additive manufacturing, maintenance engineering, and 3D printing.
