In this study, bronze-based brake linings containing 0-8 wt% glass powder were manufactured by a hot pressing process and tribological properties of produced samples investigated using Chase-type friction tester. The hardness density the also determined. microstructures surfaces examined scanning electron microscopy (SEM). As result, it was dermined that sample reinforced with 8 has exhibited b...

Exposure to particulate air pollution has been associated with a variety of respiratory, cardiovascular and neurological problems, resulting in increased morbidity mortality worldwide. Brake-wear emissions are one the major sources metal-rich airborne roadside environments. Of potentially bioreactive metals, Fe (especially its ferrous form, Fe2+) might play specific role both impairments. Here,...

In parallel with the significant reduction of impact vehicles on environment, development modern propulsion systems that have less and harmful impact, new pollutants are being identified vehicle. One such is brakes, which wear out lead to formation particles released into air, i.e. generally environment. Investigation mechanism particle during braking, thus brake today becoming one important ar...

Due to the extreme health concerns associated with asbestos-based brake linings, researchers are looking at using ecologically friendly bio-based biomaterials as reinforcing agents in composite materials used make pad linings. The goal of this study is see whether sea shell (SS) powder production asbestos-free lining feasible. powders were combined necessary fillers lining. compositions varied ...
