Abstract
The purpose of the present research is to check the capability of SS 304 for the application of medical implants and describe the influence of sandblasting process, applied load, frequency, and sliding distance on the coefficient of friction of SS 304. In this research, attempts have been made to study the wear behavior of SS 304 under various conditions. In the tribology lab, a wear test was carried out in accordance with the scheme of experiments developed using the Taguchi technique. The robust design of L18 orthogonal array was preferred to investigate the empirical data acquired from the pin-on-disc tribometer. The optimal conditions for a minimum coefficient of friction are sandblasted plate, frequency (25 Hz), sliding distance (30 mm), and load (15 N). It is observed that after sand blasting hardness of SS 304 increases. This research will be helpful for the medical practitioners and researchers working in bio tribology and indirectly will benefit the patients.
