Abstract
Enhancing the lubricity of copper-based brake pads has been viewed as a crucial strategy to boost braking performance. Flake graphite and the oxide film are two substances that are widely concerned with providing lubrication at the friction interface. However, the results from full-scale dynamometer in this work indicate that the increased content of flake graphite with stronger lubrication and iron particles that accelerate the generation of oxide film lead to a deterioration in tribological and noise performance. This is manifested by high sensitivity to clamping force, significant fading behavior, increased sound pressure level and high-frequency noise. The evidence from the worn surface suggests that flake graphite is susceptible to peeling off from the friction surface, thereby amplifying the instability of the friction surface. The unstable existence of both flake graphite and oxide film during emergency braking actually diminishes the lubrication of the friction interface, likely resulting in the degraded braking performance. The indication suggests that the development of high-performance copper-based brake pads should aim to achieve a harmonization of diverse properties, rather than emphasizing only specific aspects.
期刊介绍:
Engineering Failure Analysis publishes research papers describing the analysis of engineering failures and related studies.
Papers relating to the structure, properties and behaviour of engineering materials are encouraged, particularly those which also involve the detailed application of materials parameters to problems in engineering structures, components and design. In addition to the area of materials engineering, the interacting fields of mechanical, manufacturing, aeronautical, civil, chemical, corrosion and design engineering are considered relevant. Activity should be directed at analysing engineering failures and carrying out research to help reduce the incidences of failures and to extend the operating horizons of engineering materials.
Emphasis is placed on the mechanical properties of materials and their behaviour when influenced by structure, process and environment. Metallic, polymeric, ceramic and natural materials are all included and the application of these materials to real engineering situations should be emphasised. The use of a case-study based approach is also encouraged.
Engineering Failure Analysis provides essential reference material and critical feedback into the design process thereby contributing to the prevention of engineering failures in the future. All submissions will be subject to peer review from leading experts in the field.
