Development of Iron Based Brake Friction Material by Hot Powder Preform Forging Technique used for Medium to Heavy Duty Applications

Development of Iron Based Brake Friction MMC Used for Military Aircraft Application by A New P/M Route

A new P/M route based hot powder pre-form forging process has been evolved to develop high density brake materials for heavy duty applications. Number of iron based MMC’s so developed offer better characteristics for braking applications in comparison to the materials developed through conventional P/M route based on high pressure compaction and pressure sintering. The process so developed in t...

Analysis of Brake-Pad Friction Material Formulation

In the technologically advanced era that we currently live in, there is a growing demand for cheaper and more durable materials for a variety of purposes. The most important safety feature of an automobile is its braking system. The ability of brakes is to provide safe and repeatable stopping, which is related to safety of automobiles and human. Automotive friction materials are multi component...

Characterization of Friction Material Formulations for Brake Pads

techniques such as SEM, TGA, XRD, friction and wear tests are used to characterize the formulations as well as the commercial material. Out of the 30 formulations made, two formulations viz., S1 and S2 closer to commercial material are presented in this work. Formulation S2 exhibits better thermal stability and better wear resistance. With the help of SEM analysis, physical properties and XRD s...

Performance of a Nao Friction Material for Disc Brake

The purpose of brake is to decelerate a vehicle by transforming the kinetic energy of the vehicle to heat via friction and dissipating that heat to the surroundings. As a part of an automobile, brake materials have additional requirements like resistance to corrosion, light weight, long life, low noise, stable friction, low wear rate and acceptable cost versus performance. Selection of the mate...
