Characterization of Friction Material Formulations for Brake Pads
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 spectrum analysis, it is shown that formulation S2 has same crystallinity as the commercial specimen and can be considered for replacing the commercial material in LRT brake pad applications. The cost of the brake pad would reduce by half if they are made locally in Malaysia.

Resin-based Copper-free Brake Pads: A Right Selection of Potassium Titanate and Ceramic Fiber
The present study aimed to assess the effect of replacing copper as a multi-functional ingredient in the brake pad material with potassium titanate platelet (PTP) and a particular type of ceramic fiber (CF) copper-free composite. Chase dynamometer tests were conducted to compare a brake padchr('39')s tribological behavior when PTP and CF are added to the composition with that of the copper-bear...

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...
متن کاملCopper Substitution and Noise Reduction in Brake Pads: Graphite Type Selection
Graphite is commonly used in brake pads. The use of graphite powder has the main goal of solid state lubrication and friction coefficient stabilization. In this article results on resin bonded brake pads with focus on noise performance and heat dissipation are presented. Experimental tests are based on model friction materials with a known formulation and a reduced number of components for a be...
متن کاملA Thermo-elastic Annular Plate Model for the Modeling of Brake Systems∗
The friction forces generated during braking between brake pads and discs produce high thermal gradients on the rubbing surfaces. These thermal gradients may cause braking problems such as brake fade, premature wear or hot spotting and the associated hot judder phenomenon in the frequency range below 100 Hz. Further consequences are comfort reductions, a defective braking process, inhomogeneous...

Transient heat transfer analysis of disc brake has been performed to find out an ideal shape of pad geometry. The analysis has taken frictional heat between brake disc and pads as heat flux onto the friction surface, the disc and the pad's temperature fields then were explored involving thermal conduction, forced convection and surface radiation effects. The disc thermal expansion stress was th...
