Abstract
Brake pads used in automotive disk brakes are generally made of many components such as phenolic resin, aramid fiber, Cu powder, BaSO4, and cashew dust. Using a slider-on-disk-type wear tester, the friction and wear characteristics of the pad against the disk made of cast iron at high disk temperature (above 80°C) were studied with varying the content of the components. In particular, the relation between the sudden decrease in friction (fade) and the wear rate were closely studied. The experimental, result of the wear test was also analyzed, systematically by the multiple regression method and the effects of the components were clarified quantitatively.
