dc.description.abstractLaser directed energy deposition (LDED) is an emerging technique for fabricating superalloy based aero engine components. Hence, the current work investigates the tribological performance of LDED processed IN625 at room temperature (RT) and high temperature (HT) conditions of 850 °C to replicate the operating environment of aero engine components. The comparison with conventionally processed (CP) sample confirmed that as-deposited (AD) sample showed similar friction behavior to the CP sample but slightly improved wear performance. The COF and wear rate of AD sample reduced significantly at HT compared to RT due to the evolution of stable oxide layer. NiO, Fe<inf>2</inf>O<inf>3</inf>, and Cr<inf>2</inf>O<inf>3</inf> were the major phases in oxide layer. The work indicates suitability of LDED to fabricate wear resistant surfaces. © 2024 Elsevier Ltd
