Einfluss fertigungsbedingter Effekte auf das tribologische Verhalten im ADAM-Verfahren gedruckter Bauteile

Additive manufacturing processes have become increasingly important in recent years. However, the use of additive manufactured components in tribological applications – especially for metallic components – has still been little investigated. This work analyzes the extent to which components printed with the Atomic Diffusion Additive Manufacturing (ADAM) process are suitable for use in tribomechanical systems. The focus is on the tribological behavior of the tool steel D2 against 100Cr6 counterparts under lubrication with deep drawing oil, taking direction-dependent manufacturing effects into account. The first tribological investigations with the ADAM process show great optimization potential for possible applications in the field of forming technology. The surface treatment of the samples has proven to be mandatory in the investigations.
