Investigation of Usage of Milled Pine Cone in Brake Pads

Abstract

Automotive brake pads are polymer composites containing polymer matrix and various fibers and obtained by mixing and pressing different powder materials. Each material added to the content has one or more tasks. Therefore, the properties and quantities of the materials added to the content are very important in terms of braking performance. In this study, the use of milled pinus brutia cone and pinus nigra cone from the pine cone family in the automotive brake pad was investigated experi-mentally. First of all, cones are ground and powdered. The milled 10% pinus brutia cone and 10% pinus nigra cone were added to the pad com-ponent. The performance tests of the pads were carried out on pin on disk type test device. Friction coefficient, wear, density and hardness tests of the pads were done. The test results have been shown to affect the brak-ing performance of milled pine cone.

Experimental Comparison of Manufacturing Parameters in Automotive Friction Materials

“…The brake system is one of the most basic safety systems of a vehicle [1][2][3]. Friction occurs during braking, which causes active wear of the friction and disc surfaces of the friction materials [4].…”

Researchers in different fields of biocomposite production have used epoxy composites reinforced with Banyan air root fibers (Ganapathy et al 2021).…”

Investigation of Tribological Properties of Brake Friction Materials Developed from Industrial Waste Products

“…Many BFMs have been produced to obtain the desired tribological properties [3]. The tribological performance of the produced friction composite is greatly influenced by the amount and type of components categorized as functional and inert filler, binder, reinforcing element, friction modifier, lubricant and abrasive [4][5][6][7][8]. The combination of behavior and mechanical properties, along with the formulation of friction materials, plays an important role in achieving the best performance.…”
