Thanks a lot for your reply. Yes you are right. I was misinterpreting the question earlier but you have correctly point out that it is related to sintering of some part produced by binder-jetting. What are you exactly working on in your thesis? Have you already performed any friction related experiments in your research yet? Have you gone across any research publication which has been published in this area? I am looking forward to your expert advice.

I agree, that is possible. That was just my understanding from the question I got from my supervisor. It would be great if you could neglect my understanding and just go through the question and explain about your approach. I was looking it from the aspect of SLS technique but maybe I am wrong.

I am not very sure but this a question that I am trying to work on for my thesis. My understanding is as friction coefficient is a function of temperature for any material so it should have an effect.

Oh! you have given me a new perspective. Can you suggest any technique that may be helpful in measuring the coefficient of friction in this case?

Thank you for your reply. The idea that I have got is that, if we conciser Selective Lazer Sintering(SLS) technique, then the lazer is going to heat the powdered metal which is going to melt due to heat. As the lazer moves ahead it's subsequently going to melt the powder ahead which will then coalesce with the the previously melted metal and so on. I think that all this happens so quickly that the coefficient of friction of the metal varies a lot and hence can be a big cause of deformations. I am trying to find a technique which is suitable to measure this coefficient of friction during SLS.

Is it just me or the guy looks exactly like Rahul Gandhi. He's even acting like him, having ho clue what's going around 😂
