To widen the industrial application of additively manufactured (AM) parts, the study of fretting wear behavior is essential, as it ensures the safety and reliability that drive innovation in design and materials. This study explores the fretting wear behavior of the as-built and heat-treated state of AlSi10Mg alloy fabricated, viz., laser powder bed fusion (LPBF). Initially, the as-built and T5, T6, and stress-relieved (SR) heat-treated samples were examined using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to gain insights into the microstructural changes. The as-built samples exhibited a higher hardness level (135 HV) primarily due to the presence of very fine microstructure of the α-Al cellular matrix with embedded Si. The α-Al cellular structure dissolved with various heat treatments, and Si particles coarsened. The hardness decreased to 85, 79, and 67 HV for the T5, T6, and SR conditions, respectively. Subsequently, fretting tests were conducted on the samples, applying various normal loads of 10, 50, and 100 N. Further, the samples were characterized by the coefficient of friction (COF), worn surface morphology, and wear volume loss. The investigation showed that the as-built material showed less wear volume loss under all loading conditions than the heat-treated conditions. Furthermore, the T5 heat treated sample had a lower wear volume when compared to the T6 and SR heat-treated samples. The heat-treated sample exhibits compressive stress, whereas the LPBF processed, the as-built sample shows tensile stress. |
