Paper Details

In this work, the wear behavior of brake pad material under the influence of parameters like slidingvelocity, sliding distance, and normal load under Dry Friction Condition is studied. Brake pad is made up ofcomplex composite material so such three compositions suitable for Light Motor Vehicles are selected for test andnamed as material I, material II and material III. The tribological behavior of composites was investigated by pinon disc apparatus. Load, sliding speed and sliding distance were taken as the process variable. The parameters areset for different levels and in optimum possible combination by Taguchi experimentation design array. Wear rate isobtained as a response of experimentation and then further analyzed in design expert software. Parametric relationis developed in the form of equation for each material composition. At the end all three materials are compared onthe basis of wear rate and coefficient of friction. Graphical representation is used to interpret the statistical data,three-dimensional graphs comparing wear rate of all three materials simultaneously under the influence ofindividual parameters namely load, sliding distance and sliding velocity are given in results. Conclusions of thepresent work are, as load and sliding distance increases wear rate also increase, and as the velocity of slidingincreases wear rate slightly decrease. Material composition is the major factor influencing the wear rate of brakepad, as the wear rate of all three material are different which is shown in paper in tabulated form. The increase inpercentage of carbon increases the wear resistance.
