In severe conditions, braking may cause the temperature on the disc-pad interface to rise up to 800 °C 1 . At such a temperature, the properties of organic compounds are disrupted, coefficient of friction (CoF) decreases, and the rate of wear increases exponentially. This phenomenon is called “fade” 2 . Ideal brake pads, without causing any fades, are expected to function in uniform and stable ...

The agricultural brake pad is one solution to reduce the danger of using asbestos in-vehicle systems. This research aims conduct bibliometric analysis in nano-sized waste pads by combining mapping VOSviewer software. Application reference manager used obtain data. data received results from a search based on keyword “Brake pads, Nano-sized, Agricultural waste.” found 1000 relevant published art...

Asbestos has been banned in many countries as a result of its negative effects on the environment and human health. As result, human-friendly friction material is required to replace asbestos brake pads. Hence, powder metallurgy technique was undertaken develop from locally sourced asbestos-free materials. Seashell used base elements with other additives. The filler considered had particulate s...

In this study, graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4, labelled as gCN) was tested in the formulation of copper-free (Cu-free) friction mixtures, which are potentially interesting for brake pad manufacturing. Three formulations composites were prepared starting from a common Cu-free master batch: (i) without graphite, (ii) with graphite and (iii) gCN. The mixtures pressed form pins by hot-press mould...
