Parametric Effects on the Coefficient of Friction of a Novel Composite Material for Automobile Brake Linning

Brake lining, a friction lining material has over the years been produced mainly from asbestos. Asbestos health hazards have necessitated need to source materials other safer directions. A novel composite local was developed. The brake production dispersion hardening process by techniques of powder metallurgy finely divided particles raw mix. included sawdust, resin, rubber latex, clay, carbon black, brass chips, zinc oxide and sulphur. thus produced, with its coefficient analysed relative responses increasing temperatures pressures. environment pressures is operating condition, in situ. Temperature range studied 300C-3000C, while pressure 50KPa-250KPa. Results analysis showed fiction not adversely affected, minimum value at 0.31 maximum 0.56.
