“…In a few studies [74,73] wear rate was found to decrease with increasing load. This could be due to higher exposure of contact plateaus due to wearing of less wear resistant constituents [74] and growth of secondary plateaus with increasing pressure which eventually results in less wear rate. In some other studies [52,74] wear rate was found to decrease with increasing velocity.…”

“…In many studies [70,67,59,69,42,73,52,74] CoF was found to be dependent on braking force and velocity. In most of these studies CoF shows decreasing trend with increasing velocity while it shows mixed trend with increasing load.…”

“…Furthermore below the critical temperature binder plays a minor role in the wear resistance of the friction material, but above it the wear rate is strongly influenced by the thermal decomposition of the resin [40]. In a few studies [74,73] wear rate was found to decrease with increasing load. This could be due to higher exposure of contact plateaus due to wearing of less wear resistant constituents [74] and growth of secondary plateaus with increasing pressure which eventually results in less wear rate.…”

Disc brakes have evolved over time to be a reliable method of decelerating and stopping a vehicle. There have been different designs of disc brake systems for different applications. This review gives a detailed description of different geometries of the components and the materials used in a disc brake system. In spite of all the improvements, there are still many operational issues related to disc brakes that need to be understood in a greater detail and resolved. There has been a lot of research going on about these issues and at the same time different methods are being proposed to eliminate or reduce them. There has also been an intensive fundamental research going on about the evolution of tribological interface of disc-pad system. One major purpose of the present paper is to give a comprehensive overview of all such developments.

“…Asbestos fiber reinforced polymeric composites are used in brake pads, brake linings and brake couplings; however, asbestos has been found to be hazardous to the environment and to human health [1]. Therefore, in recent years, non-asbestos reinforcements like Kevlar (aramid fiber), glass fiber, graphite, and natural fibers have been used as replacements for asbestos [2].…”

Abstract:The goal of this work is to study the wear behavior of materials that have the potential to be used as brake pad materials under different contact loads and speeds instead of asbestos. The three different brake pad materials studied are flax fiber reinforced phenolic composites (FFRC), basalt fiber reinforced phenolic composites (BFRC), and flax/basalt reinforced hybrid phenolic composites (HFRC). A wear mechanism map was developed by using the fuzzy c-means clustering algorithm method (FCM) to study the wear mechanism of composites. The results showed BFRC to be a better brake pad material than the other fiber reinforced composites studied, because the good thermal characteristics and bonding nature of basalt fiber increased the wear resistance of BFRC considerably.

Pollution is the adverse effect humanity has to suffer due to the technological advancement. Being engineers our objective is to design the machine elements based on sustainable, eco-friendly concepts. Due to wear in brake pad, abrasive particles come to environment. So the material selection of brake pad is an important criterion. In a braking system brake pad comes in contact with the disc and due to heavy friction the kinetic energy of the vehicle reduces and it comes to rest. Generally in this process a lot of wear occurs in brake pad and the abrasive particles comes out of the brake pad. In the brake pad composites asbestos has been used as reinforcement for a very long period of time. Few years before it was found that asbestos particles having carcinogenic effect on the skin. So a lot of research is going on for finding a suitable replacement for asbestos. The objective of this research is to find the suitability of using natural fiber composite material as a replacement for asbestos. Hemp fiber is chosen in the place of asbestos which comes from the stem of the hemp tree. It is a natural fiber having very high young's modulus and cellulose content. Cashew friction dust is chosen to improve frictional properties, graphite powder is used as solid lubricant and epoxy is used as matrix material for the brake pad composite. The composites with varying compositions were being fabricated using compression molding machine using an acrylic die followed by post curing in a furnace. Then few important properties like wear rate, coefficient of friction, density and hardness were evaluated. Pin on Disc investigation is performed on the composites for analyzing the wear rate and frictional behavior of composites. Finally the results were compared with that of the existing literature.
