Elevated temperature fretting wear study of additively manufactured Inconel 625 superalloy

M. Tripathy, K. Gaskell, J. Laureto, K. Davami, A. Beheshti  ·  Additive Manufacturing · 2023

First study of fretting wear in printed Inconel 625 up to 700 °C: the printed alloy wears more than wrought at room temperature but much less when hot, because it forms a protective oxide sooner.

Surface property study of additively manufactured Inconel 625 at room temperature and 510 °C

M. Tripathy, M. Munther, K. Davami, A. Beheshti  ·  Manufacturing Letters · 2020

In-situ high-temperature nanoindentation and fretting on printed Inconel 625: 30% softer at 510 °C, yet lower friction and wear, thanks to a compact oxide layer at the contact.
