In this paper, the friction stability of brake materials is investigated by means of a rotating stick–slip tester. Experimental results are compared with a computational model implemented in Simulink. The main goal of this work is to find out how vibrations induced by friction are related to mechanical system parameters such as inertia (mass), stiffness, damping and sliding speed. At the same time, a computational model is developed in order to analyse the dynamic response of a dry friction process ...

Three different techniques for measuring wear in brake pads are compared: a gravimetric method (electronic balance), a linear measuring touch probe method, and a three-dimensional laser scanning method. Laboratory-scale wear tests were performed on two different types of brake friction materials: a semi-metallic (SM) and a non-asbestos organic (NAO). All three techniques were able to show clear differences in the wear rates of the materials selected for study. It was observed that choosing only a few ...

This paper describes the development of a methodology for assessing and correlating stick–slip and brake creep groan. For doing that, results of tribotests are compared to data obtained in vehicle tests. A low velocity and a linear reduction in normal force were set for the tribotests. The vehicle tests consisted of subjecting a sport utility vehicle to three different ramp slopes. Creep groan events were measured by accelerometers placed on the brake calipers. The root mean square of the acceleration ...

A method has been developed for quantifying the percentage of friction layer coverage on a brake disc surface. The method is used to examine the relationship of layer coverage to the coefficient of friction and the morphology of the contact plateaus existing on the brake pad surface. Two kinds of brake pads, a non asbestos organic (NAO) and a semi-metallic (SM), were subjected to sliding against a gray cast iron disc in a laboratory-scaled tribometer. In order to observe the effect caused by the contact ...

Abstract The present study addresses the tribological behavior of polyester composites reinforced with a natural fiber (sisal), a synthetic fiber (glass) and their combination (glass/sisal hybrid). The composites were obtained by compression molding with an overall fiber content of 20 or 40 vol%. The composites were rubbed against a steel counterface using a tribometer. Pure sisal composite exhibited superior wear resistance, mainly due to the formation of a concise tribofilm. It also showed the lowest ...

Previous studies have shown that the copper originated from the wear of automotive brake friction materials (BFM) is one of the main sources of the deposit of this metal in rivers and lakes, leading to environmental impacts. As a result, recent US legislations have forced a drastic reduction of the copper used in BFM’s in the next years, which will be likely followed by other governments around the world. Although the copper is widely used in BFM’s, the understanding of the action mechanisms of this ...

The present paper addresses the tribological behaviour of new eco-friendly brake friction materials with rice husk (RH). Three formulations with different RH content (0%, 6% and 12%) were developed and subjected to the SAE J2522 test procedure, plus an extra high-temperature section, through a laboratory-scaled braking tribometer. At 300 °C, RH acted holding wear debris and improving wear resistance due to the formation of large contact plateaus. At 550 °C, RH's organic compounds degraded, leading to ...

The addition of the rice husk in a new eco-friendly Cu-free brake pad formulation was investigated in this study. Rice husk (RH) is a natural agro-waste residue with relatively high silica content, which should display abrasive properties that are not easily found in other natural materials. In this study, tribological properties of three friction materials were investigated using a pin-on-disc (PoD) tribometer. The three formulations were prepared adding to a common composition, each one of the following ...

The transition in wear regime is a tribological phenomenon observed in many materials, where a sudden change in wear regime (from moderate to severe) occurs when operating parameters (e.g. pressure or sliding velocity) are changed. However, this phenomenon is rarely explored in brake friction materials (BFMs). Severe wear regime for BFMs results in an increase in cost and leads to environmental issues due to the high amount of loss in material. This work aims to study the transition in BFM applying ...

This article aims to describe the sequence of events (cause-effect) that lead to the transition in wear regime from moderate to severe for brake friction materials (BFM). Tribofilm, contact plateaus and wear debris are characterized in both regimes through different techniques. It was concluded that there is a critical tensile strength which leads to the destruction of the contact plateaus (the secondary type), resulting in a direct contact between the metallic fibers of the BFM and the tribofilm deposited ...

Abstract Brake friction materials (BFMs) are designed to have low wear rate under different conditions of contact pressure, temperature, and sliding velocity. The conditions to ensure a low wear rate (i.e., a moderate wear regime) between the disc and the BFM are not well established. The present article aims to enhance the comprehension about the wear regimes for BFMs. For this purpose, a commercial BFM was slid against a gray cast iron rotor (disc). Tests were performed under different sliding velocities ...
