Abstract
In this study, gas-atomized CuSn10 powders were used as raw materials to manufacture 3D-printing CuSn10 samples via powder extrusion printing (PEP) technology. A laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) CuSn10 sample was prepared for comparison. The friction and wear behaviour and corrosion resistance of CuSn10 alloy were investigated. The results showed that the PEP samples prepared from unscreened CuSn10 powders had high porosity, wear rate, friction coefficient and corrosion rate. However, the properties could be improved by adjusting the powder particle sizes, including friction and wear behaviour, wear surface roughness, corrosion resistance and so on. In particular, the PEP CuSn10 samples prepared from less than 1000 mesh powders exhibited the lowest wear rate, friction coefficient and corrosion rate, which were 3.06 × 10−6 mm3 N−1 m−1, 0.565 and 0.0411 mm per year. In addition, the PEP samples prepared by the combination of coarse and fine powders exhibited a relatively smooth wear surface. On the contrary, the wear surface of the LPBF sample had some large furrows and high surface roughness after performing the friction and wear test.
期刊介绍:
The Bulletin of Materials Science is a bi-monthly journal being published by the Indian Academy of Sciences in collaboration with the Materials Research Society of India and the Indian National Science Academy. The journal publishes original research articles, review articles and rapid communications in all areas of materials science. The journal also publishes from time to time important Conference Symposia/ Proceedings which are of interest to materials scientists. It has an International Advisory Editorial Board and an Editorial Committee. The Bulletin accords high importance to the quality of articles published and to keep at a minimum the processing time of papers submitted for publication.
