Brake pads are generally made of asbestos, which is less environmentally friendly and widely available in nature, therefore motorcycle brake pads are made that utilize palm frond fibers filled with alumina powder and bonded to a polyurethane matrix. This research was conducted at the Laboratory of Material Testing of Industrial Chemical Technology Polytechnic (PTKI) Medan. Research was carried out from February-July 2020, using two test, namely the Rockwell Hardness level test and the Pin On Disk Friction Coefficient test. The result showed that oil palm frond fibers can be made into motorcycle brake pads with the addition of alumina powder according to the predetermined composition. After going through the test, the Rockwell hardness level was obtained in A2 treatment (6% Alumina) with the highest and best hardness level, namely 52.75 Kg. And after testing the friction coefficient of the Pin On Disk type, brake pads from palm frounds with the addition of alumina powder composition which have the lowest coefficient value of the best are obtained in treatment A2 (6% Alumina) with a value of 0.000765 N/mm2. Keywords : biocomposite, brake shoes, palm fround fibers, alumina powder

The YBa2Cu3Ox/Ag and Bi2Sr2CaCu2Ox/Ag self-lubricating composites were prepared using powder metallurgic method. The crystal structure and morphology of the as-synthesized samples were characterized by XRD and SEM. The YBa2Cu3Ox/Ag and Bi2Sr2CaCu2Ox/Ag self-lubricating composites were found to compose of superconductor phase and Ag phase. The tribological properties from ultra-low temperature to room temperature of the composites were studied by pin-on-disk friction test. It was found that the friction coefficients of pure YBa2Cu3Ox(YBCO) and Bi2Sr2CaCu2Ox(BSCCO) were both dropped abruptly when the temperature cooled below the superconducting transition temperature. At room temperature, the friction coefficient of pure YBa2Cu3Oxis 0.68~0.95, when mixing 15wt% Ag, the friction coefficient of the sample decreased to the lowest value 0.11. The friction coefficient of pure Bi2Sr2CaCu2Ox is 0.15~0.17, When Ag content reach 10wt%, the coefficient was lowest (average value is 0.13). The addition of appropriate amount of Ag obviously improve the tribological property of YBCO, while only slightly meliorate that of BSCO. On the other hand, the YBCO/Ag composites exhibit better tribological properties than BSCCO/Ag composites at higher load under the same experimental condition.

AbstractTiC/C/Ag coatings were deposited by magnetron sputtering pulsed laser deposition (MSPLD) combining sputtering from a custom made Ti-Ag (60:40) target with the ablation of carbon. Energy disperse spectroscopy (EDS) was used to determine the elemental composition, and x-ray diffraction (XRD) and cross-sectional scanning electron microscopy (XSEM) to examine the structure of the films. Hardness and reduced modulus measurements were acquired using a nanoindentation technique. The pin-on-disk friction test was used to study the friction behavior of the deposited samples in high vacuum and ambient conditions. Variations in the laser energy and the power of the sputtering gun yielded a set of samples with carbon content that ranged from 15.0 to 95.6 percent. The hardest samples with the highest reduced modulus were those with a moderate carbon content and that were shown to form a titanium carbide phase. Tribological results indicated that there is an optimum composition of a TiC/C/Ag coating (~25 at.% carbon) for which it can be reversible and provide lubrication in both ambient and vacuum.

Wear coefficient and friction coefficient are two of the key parameters in the performance of any tribo-system. The main purpose of the present research is to use continuum damage mechanics to predict wear coefficient. Thus, a contact model is utilized that can be used to obtain the friction coefficient between the contacting surfaces. By applying this model to the continuum damage mechanics model, the wear coefficient between dry surfaces is predicted. One of the advantages of using this model is that the wear coefficient can be numerically predicted unlike other methods which highly rely on experimental data. In order to verify the results predicted by this model, tests were performed using pin-on-disk test rig for several ST37 samples. The results indicated that the wear coefficient increases with increasing the friction coefficient.

This paper presents a facile and effective method for preparing Ni/NbSe2 composites in order to improve the wettability of NbSe2 and copper matrix, which is helpful in enhancing the friction-reducing and anti-wear properties of copper-based composites. The powder metallurgy (P/M) technique was used to fabricate copper-based composites with different weight fractions of Ni/NbSe2, and tribological properties of composites were evaluated by using a ball-on-disk friction-and-wear tester. Results indicated that tribological properties of copper-based composites were improved by the addition of Ni/NbSe2. In particular, copper-based composites containing 15 wt.% Ni/NbSe2 showed the lowest friction coefficient (0.16) and wear rate (4.1 × 10−5 mm3·N−1·m−1) among all composites.

The effect of applied DC voltage on the friction and wear of CNx sliding against stainless steel pin in air was clarified. Friction coefficient decreased with the increasing negative voltage to apply to the ball and disk in air. On the other hand, positive voltage increased friction coefficient. Friction coefficient of CNx in air decreased from 0.22 to 0.05 by applying electric voltage of DC −200 V. Specific wear rate was decreased with the increasing applied positive and negative voltage. It was considered that the oxidation of CNx was controlled by electric field.

Friction material in an automotive brake system plays an important role for effective and safe brake performance. A single material has never been sufficient to solve performance related issues. Current research aimed to examine properties of Boron mixed brake pads by comparing them with the commercial brake pads. Friction coefficient of Boron mixed brake pads and commercial brake pads were significantly different and increased with the increase in surface roughness. The abrupt reduction of friction coefficient is more significant in commercial brake pad samples than in Boron mixed brake pad formulations. Fade occurred in commercial brake pad sample at lower temperatures. Boron formulations are more stable than their commercial counterparts.

Some surface patterns of tribological application are an attractive technology of engineered surface. Because of the friction reduction is considered to be necessary for improved efficiency of machine. This study was investigated for the effect of friction property for angles of micro-crosshatch groove surface pattern on bearing steel used pin-on-disk test. We obtain sample which can be fabricated by photolithography process. We discuss the friction property depended on an angle of crosshatch groove surface pattern. We can verify the lubrication mechanism as Stribeck curve which has a relationship between the friction coefficient and a dimensionless parameter under the lubrication condition. It was found that the friction coefficient was related to angle of crosshatch groove pattern on contact surface.

In the present paper, air pressure and temperature on the interface of the polymer matrix composite (PMC) brake pads are measured by disc brake under braking condition, and their influences are studied as well. The experimental results show that the air temperature peak is not as high as that on the surface. The air pressure of the interface varies with the applied load. The air pressure is negative under the small applied load, but positive under the large applied load. The analysis of the experimental results shows that the phenomena are caused by the friction heat and the rotate disc. Since the air pressure is very small comparing with applied load, it influences on the friction coefficient slightly. But, the negative air pressure of the interface increases the chance of the drag friction in the non-braking mode for disc brakes.

Nickel aluminide alloys are ordered intermetallic compounds which show promise for elevated temperature applications, some of which involve sliding contact. The present investigation was conducted to develop an initial understanding of the unlubricated sliding behavior of a nickel aluminide alloy at room and elevated temperatures. In particular, the variations in the friction coefficient and the wear track morphology during the break-in stage and subsequent transitions were studied. Pin-on-disk experiments were conducted at room temperature and at 650° C (923° K) in air using fixed 9.5 mm diameter polycrystalline alumina balls as the pin material. To provide a comparison in behavior, nickel (Ni-200) disks were tested under the same conditions. The sliding friction coefficient of alumina on nickel aluminide was considerably higher than that for alumina on nickel at room temperature, but it was only slightly higher at 650° C. The wear was similar for both materials at room temperature, but the nickel aluminide exhibited relatively mild wear at 650° C, displaying less severe surface damage than the nickel. Work on identifying key friction and wear mechanisms and on evaluating the temperature limitations for future applications will continue.
