Influence of Brake Pad Properties to Braking Characteristics

In this research, field and laboratory testing of three commercially available brake pads with the lowest, mid-dle, highest price were performed. Complex testing, where tested in real extreme conditions on a loaded van vehicle tests The intended to investigate temperatures that occur during braking process determine stopping distance, deceleration, time separately type pads. Labo-ratory included determination friction co-efficient according ASTM G77, structure pad surfaces before after quantitative chemical analysis aim study was influence temperature depending their purchase prices. obtained results show significant difference between temperature, coefficient, composi-tion, price.
