Abstract:In this paper, an investigation of the load-dependent wear behavior of copper-free semi-metallic brake material is presented. The experiments were conducted in ambient thermal settings with varying sliding velocities (3.141 m/s, 2.09 m/s, and 1.047 m/s), normal load (60 N, 50 N, and 40 N), and sliding distance (4500 m, 3000 m, and 1500 m). Taguchi’s method was used in designing experiments to examine the output through an L9 orthogonal array. ANOVA was used to identify the consequence of interactions among dif… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
