In this experiment study, the textured journal bearings (TJB) are developed by additive manufacturing process with three different polymers such as acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), poly-lactic acid (PLA), and nylon. The experimental analysis of these developed 3D-printed TJB is performed based on the response surface methodology based on Box-Behnken design (BBD) matrix. The process parameters such as texture depth (TD), rotor speed (S) and load (L) are considered as input variable. The wear properties of 3D-printed TJB such as wear rate (WR) and rubbing temperature (RT) are output responses that are evaluated by the experimental study. Further, the grey relational analysis (GRA) technique is considered to assess the optimum value of process parameters for each polymer (ABS, PLA and Nylon). These results show that the rotor speed is the most significant process parameter for the better wear properties of 3D-printed TJB followed by load. The Nylon is found to be the most significant polymer for 3D-printed TJB among all the polymers. For the Nylon polymer, the optimal value of texture depth, speed and load are 0.5 mm, 500 rpm and 10 N respectively. Under this optimal condition, the wear rate and rubbing temperature of 3D printed TJB are 0.000118 mg/s and 51.60 °C respectively. Moreover, the thermal deformation in 3D-printed TJB is observed for PLA polymer. However, the rubbing temperature of 3D-printed TJB reduced with increased texture depth.
