Experimental Study of Sintered Friction Material with Coconut Fiber for Brake Pads

Abstract

The paper presents the laboratory experiments and the results obtained regarding the production and characterization of composite materials with coconut fiber for the manufacture of brake pads for small vehicles and medium performances. The experimental research of composite material with organic components determined the influence of some material factors and parameters of the sintering regime on the physico-mechanical characteristics of the tested samples. Knowledge of these characteristics offers the possibility of pertinent appraisals regarding the behaviour of the composite materials intended for used in brake pads applications. Materials with the best features will be selected to determine the functional characteristics of friction and wear.

The analysis of the influential parameters that cause particles formation during the braking process: A review

“…Materials representing natural plant waste such as banana peel, cocoa beans shells, rice powder, palm kernel fibre, coconut fibre, wood powder, cow bone, crab shells, hazelnut shells, corn husks and walnut shells are often used and proposed. [97][98][99][100][101][102][103][104][105][106][107] According to Arman et al, 108 brake pads with additives of agricultural materials, that is waste are useful because they do not have an impact on the environment and health and show the same properties as metal brake pads. According to this source, a certain percentage of phenolic resin with the addition of banana peel has good tribological characteristics, but the ratio must be taken into account, bearing in mind that otherwise, excessive wear occurs.…”

Simulation of Thermal Transfer Through the Polyamide Intake Manifold

“…However, the previous studies [2,[13][14][15][16] stated that the combustion fluctuation was increased by increasing the variation in the air-to-fuel ratio due to the heat transfer phenomenon of the intake system, in direct connection with the material (PA66, Al alloy) of the intake manifold ( fig. 1).…”

“…Volatile raw material prices and huge investments in new material research are the major challenges facing industr y specialists. Biodegradable plastics such as PHA, PCL and PBS provide a better opportunity for major manufacturers in the machine industry [1,2].…”
