scholarly journals Friction and Wear Characteristics of Rubber Resin-Bonded Metallic Brake Pad Materials

This paper aims to present comparative study of friction and wear characteristics of non-asbestos rubber resin bonded metallic based brake pad material. Friction material was compression moulded and machined to a sample size. Their physical and mechanical properties were studied. Experiments were conducted using Pin-on-disc test set-up against EN31 disc. Coefficient of friction and wear was measured for metallic based brake materials at varying conditions of temperature, sliding velocity, pressure and sliding distance. When brake pads are in contact with brake disc, heat is generated hence thermal behaviour of metallic based brake material and its impact on friction and wear were studied. Experiments, based on Taguchi’s analysis technique, using L9 orthogonal array were performed. On the basis of experimental results and S/N ratio analyses, ranking of the parameters have been done. It was found that temperature (95.37 %) and sliding velocity (2.99 %) are most affecting parameters in friction, However temperature (82.96 %) and pressure (6.80) in wear. The elemental composition of metallic based brake material was measured by EDS technique. SEM micrographs of brake pad samples were tested at different magnifications. Further detailed studies are suggested to evaluate wear rate, stopping distance under simulative test conditions alternate to asbestos based brake pad material.

In this world demand for bio lubricants which are easily decomposing, non-toxic and non-polluting is increasing day by day. This paper describes and compares the friction and wear characteristics of Pongamia blended lubricant with Cardanol blended lubricant by using Pin on disc wear testing Tribometer. For the preparation of blended lubricants, cardanol and pongamia based biodiesel were blended with base lubricant SAE20W40 in the ratios of 5, 10, and 20% on volume basis. The friction and wear characteristics of Cardanol and pongamia blended bio lubricants were carried out at the loads of 50N, 100N and 150N with the sliding velocity of 2.5m/s. By adding 5% and 10% pongamia biodiesel with base lubricant, less wear rate was observed. When this limit wear rate exceeds is also increasing gradually. While carrying out the wear test with Cardanol oil blended lubricant, least wear rate was observed during the addition of 5% and 20% Cardanol oil blended lubricant with base lubricant. The wear rate was increased while adding 10% of Cardanol oil blended lubricant with base lubricant. It has been concluded that CBL 5 and CBL 15 can act as an alternative lubricant at minimum and maximum load to increase mechanical efficiency at 2.5m/s sliding velocity and dependency on petroleum-based products was reduced with its contribution

The friction and wear characteristics of spike-tooth material (65Mn steel) of Spike-Tooth Harrow in a two-stage peanut harvester were studied in this paper. The friction and wear tests of pin and disc on 65 manganese steel were carried out on the tribometer, then the wear loss and the friction coefficient were studied. The wear loss of the pin was acquired by calculating the mass of the pin before and after the experiment using an electronic balance. According to the actual working environment of peanut spring-finger, four variable parameters are set up: load, speed, soil moisture and soil type. The friction and wear characteristics of pins were studied under different loads, speeds and different soil environments. After wearing, the worn surface of the material was observed by scanning microscope and the wear mechanism was studied. The experimental results show that the wear of the pin increases with the increase of load and decreases with the increase of rotational speed in the same rotation number. Especially in the case of the sandy soil with 20% in moisture, a maximum wear loss of the pin is achieved.

The effects of phosphorus on the friction and wear characteristics of Cu-5 at. percent Sn-P alloys containing 1–5 at. percent P were studied using a pin on disc apparatus. The results showed that the decrease in both the coefficient of friction and the rate of wear became conspicuous with the increase in quantity of Cu3P coexisting in the matrix; its amount increases with the content of phosphorus. The structural changes in the surface of the specimen due to heating in a vacuum were observed by using Auger electron spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. It was seen that the surface concentration of phosphorus strongly increased after heating at 573K, whereas the diffusion of tin atoms was markedly retarded. It was concluded from these results that the behavior of phosphorus atoms in the surface during sliding played an important role in the friction and wear characteristics of Cu-Sn-P alloys.

Friction materials are composed of numerous ingredients which differ from nature and particles size. Each ingredient has its own impact on the mechanical and tribological behavior of the material. Brass ingredients have a great impact on the thermal gradient dissipation in the sliding contact between disc and brake pad material. In this research, the influence of different sizes and forms of brass ingredient was studied on the friction material behavior. The physical (density), mechanical (yield strength, young module) and thermal (thermal conductivity and specific heat) properties of the considered composites were characterized. Results proves that only physical and mechanical properties are sensitive to the changes in size and form of brass particles. The tribological behavior of the brake friction materials was also assessed using a pin-on-disc tribometer. The results show that bigger brass particles and their elongated shape allows it to be well embedded on the pad surface during braking application, and thus decreased wear rate . In contrast, the smaller particle decrease the friction stability and it rounded shape increase wear of the material since it tearing from the surface by abrasive wear.

Abstract Friction and wear characteristics correlating the fiber reinforcement percentage of carbon-carbon (C/C) composites solely developed from petroleum pitch matrices were investigated. This study exhibits the tribo-characteristics of C/C composites developed in a single-step carbonization process for varying loads for the first time without a reimpregnation process. A pin-on-disc tribometer with a sliding speed of 0.5 m/s and loads of 5, 10, and 20 N with a flat tool grade stainless steel pin as a static partner was employed. Further, polarized light optical and scanning electron microscopes (SEM) were utilized for a morphological analysis. Elastic modulus and strength were determined by a compression test. A result analysis is conducted to analyze sliding wear accompanied with minor abrasion. The composites with a high percentage of reinforcement exhibit credible wear resistance and mechanical robustness.

Copper-based friction material (CFM) and paper-based friction material (PFM) are the two most commonly used clutch friction materials. The friction and wear characteristics of these two kinds of friction materials under dry conditions were investigated by the pin-on-disc test over a broad range of applied loads, rotating speeds and ambient temperatures. Before experiments, the running-in test was conducted to stabilize the coefficient of friction (COF) and wear amount of the test samples. After experiments, the metallographic micrographs of the tested samples were presented to investigate the wear mechanisms. Experimental results showed that both the COF and wear depth of the CFM are much greater than these of PFM. The COF of CFM decreases with the increase of applied load, and changes slightly with the variation of rotating speed, whereas it increases first and then decreases with the increase of ambient temperature. However, the COF of PFM decreases dramatically with the increase of the rotating speed and ambient temperature, while it remains stable at first and then decreases slowly as the applied load increases. Additionally, under such three working conditions, the wear depth of CFM changes linearly, while the wear depth of PFM varies greatly. This study can be used as a guide for selecting friction materials for clutches with different applications.


Nevertheless, asbestos though having ample physical and tribo-mechanical properties is being banned worldwide due to its health hazardousness. Most importantly, any material replacing asbestos should have comparable friction properties. This paper aims at comparative study of frictional characteristics of asbestos base and asbestos free brake pad materials. A total of three friction materials namely AF-22 (metallic based), CL-3003 (fine brass based) and DM-6 (asbestos based) were compressed and moulded into a sample. Experiments were performed using dedicated test set-up based on Pin-on-disc principle. Coefficient of friction was compared for three materials at different conditions of sliding velocity and pressure. Experiments were performed using Taguchi’s L27 orthogonal array. Ranking of the parameters have been done based on experimental results and S/N ratio analysis. The elemental composition of materials was measured by EDS technique. Scanning electron micrographs of brake pad samples were tested at different magnifications. Further investigations to evaluate wear rate, stopping distance under simulative test conditions are suggested.
