Popis: | This study presents an analysis of the thermal stability and frictional performance of a brake pad material, with banana fiber and phenolic resin as modified binder, on a specially designed disc brake test rig. Four different brake pad composites were prepared by varying the wt% of banana fiber and phenolic resin without varying the other ingredients. The brake pad samples were fabricated as per the Indian standard, corresponding to a light four wheeler vehicle. The samples of brake pad were subjected to density, hardness, thermal conductivity, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), differential thermogravimetric analysis (DTG), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), friction, fade and specific wear rate analysis. The thermal stability of brake pad samples was examined by TGA and DTG. The disc brake test setup was used for evaluating the friction and fade performance of brake pad samples as per SAE J661. The disc brake test rig and the standard used for analyzing the performance of brake pad samples proved to be reliable and effective. The results revealed that the incorporation of banana fiber is a promising alternative, for the enhancement of thermal stability of binders in the brake friction material. |
