Experimental Investigation on Abrasive Flow Finishing of FDM-Printed Polymeric Y-Shaped Nozzle

Year: 2025

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: An experiment examined the impact of 0.2% to 1.0% w/w graphite nanoparticles in 15W40 lubricating oil on tribological and rheological behavior. The analysis, conducted with a Pin on Disc machine and Four-Ball tester, revealed improved tribological properties and a 30% reduction in the friction coefficient compared to fresh 15W40. Wear was negligible, and extreme pressure performance increased by approximately 20%. SEM morphology confirmed the presence of graphite nanoparticles on the tribopair surface, indicating enhanced lubricant performance.
