These transitions usually occur not only by the changes on the surface roughness, but also by the characteristics of the third body formed between the mating surfaces. The present work investigates the tribological behavior and the related airborne particles emissions of a Cu-free brake friction material during the initial stage of braking (bedding), starting from a virgin material. The tribo-tests have been conducted using a reduced-scale dynamometer, and the number distribution of the airborne particles was simultaneously measured by an Optical Particle Sizer (OPS). The tests were stopped with 25, 50, 100 and 130 brake events in order to analyze the surface of the friction material. Bedding showed two distinct stages regarding the friction and emissions behaviors. The first is characterized by a pronounced increase in both friction coefficient and particles emissions, achieving the highest value around 35 brake events. Successively, a smooth decrease is observed until reach the steady-stage of the friction coefficient. The friction layer formed on the surface of friction material seems to be correlated with the tribological and emissions results; in which the achievement of the state-state on the friction coefficient is coincident with the progressive compaction and area-increase of the secondary plateaus.","PeriodicalId":315146,"journal":{"name":"EuroBrake 2021 Technical Programme","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133063040","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the friction between the brake pad and the disc may lead to the vibration of the brake components in the braking process. And when the friction-induced vibration of the disc brake system is transmitted through the suspension system to the bogie, it not only reduces the stability of the train operation and the ride comfort for the passengers, but also causes damage to the brake device and reduces the service life of such system. what’s worse, the vibration may provoke noise problems. Therefore, the mechanism of friction-induced vibration of the disc brake system and the method to eliminate the unstable vibration require in-depth research. Methodology: The experimental research, finite element method and numerical simulation are widely used in the analysis of the disc brake system and a great deal of meaningful research achievements have been obtained. In this article, to reflect the vibration response of the disc brake system more realistic in the braking process, a three-degree-of-freedom dynamic model of the disc brake system for the China Railways High-Speed train CRH5 is established by considering the effect of the wheel/rail adhesive characteristics and the number of brake units (the powered wheelsets installs two brake units and the non-powered wheelsets installs three on CRH5). Then, the model is applied to analysis the nonlinear dynamic response under different brake conditions to investigate the stability of the disc brake system using the numerical integration method. And diagrams of bifurcation, phase plane, Poincaré map and time domain response are used to discuss the vibration characteristics of the disc brake system in details. Innovation: The nonlinear friction between the brake disc and pad, and the nonlinear interactions between the wheel and rail are considered in this three-degree-of-freedom model. And it can be applied to investigate the effect of wheel/rail adhesive characteristics, parameters and the number of brake units on the disc brake system Results: Results show that with the increasing of the brake force, the brake pad occurs periodic motion and chaotic motion alternately, and the region of chaotic vibrations is growing while the region of periodic vibrations is decreasing. In addition, the stick-slip vibration of the brake pad and the torsional vibration between the brake disc and the wheelset are more complicated and violent with a larger brake force. It also shows that the chaos phenomenon of the disc brake system only occurs when the vehicle speed is less than the critical speed, and after that the system maintains stable periodic vibrations. Moreover, the results obtained with different number of brake units reveal that the chaotic reg","PeriodicalId":315146,"journal":{"name":"EuroBrake 2021 Technical Programme","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125262682","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Depending on the brake system, a significant proportion of those emissions occurs under cruising conditions with released brake. During a WLTP exhaust cycle with two sliding calipers used in this study 16 % respectively 30 % of the total PM10-emissions occur during off-brake-phases. The influencing parameters and formation processes of those off-brake-emissions are subject of current research to evaluate potential reduction approaches. A residual brake torque due to a disc-pad contact in the off-brake-phases as well as an air flow in the air gap between disc and pad are discussed as potential causes for the generation of those emissions. In the current state of research it is neither known how off-brake-emissions can be influenced during operation of the brake nor how a potential off-brake-emission reduction would affect dust release during the brake events and emission factors for whole test cycles. An experimental setup for the independent adjustment of the air gap and retraction force on the brake pads is used to investigate the influence on PM10-emissions during WLTP cycle with two different sliding calipers. Therefore, the air gap is varied between 0.17 mm and 5 mm and PM10-emission factors are compared to the reference brake systems without pad retraction. The share of off-brake emissions to the overall PM10-emission factor during the off-brake-phase is reduced from 16 % respectively 30 % to 3 % during a WLTP cycle with pad retraction. Associated with this decrease during the off-brake phases, an increase of the emission during the on-brake-phases occurred with pad retraction. During the performed WLTP the pad retraction leads to a decrease of the PM10-emission factor by 4.5 % for the first sliding caliper, which was smaller than standard deviation and by 6.0 % for the second sliding caliper, which was slightly higher than the standard deviation of the emission factor. No significant variance of the PM10-emission factor between 0.17 mm and 5 mm air gap could be determined. Instead a binary behavior with and without retraction was observed. Based on literature and the observations in this study, two mechanisms remain as possible origin for the major share of brake wear emission during off-brake-phases. A residual torque combined with a reservoir behavior as well as an airflow through the air gap between disc and pad smaller than 0.17 mm could be the causal mechanisms for off-brake-emissions. A residual torque as a source for contious particle generations and centrifugal forces acting on adhesive particles on the disc were excluded due to findings gained in the pad retraction experiments respectively by the observations described in the state of research.","PeriodicalId":315146,"journal":{"name":"EuroBrake 2021 Technical Programme","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115558916","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Previous rimsa studies have shown that the oxidation mechanism of metal sulphides is one of the key properties that explain their contribution to performance and wear. Depending on the metal sulphide, the oxidation mechanism is different and so is the tribochemistry. Hence, the transfer layer formed will strongly depend on the metal sulphide used. This work is focused on establishing a connection among the metal sulphide oxidation, the transfer layer formed and the performance. The friction behavior was determined through two tests, J2522 and J2707, using a NAO formula where only the metal sulphide was varied. While the transfer layer characterization was carried out through pad SEM-EDS cross-section analysis, after each test. The differences in thermal profile of J2522 and J2707 illustrate the correlation between performance and wear and different oxidation mechanisms depending on the metal sulphide used. SEM characterization of pad surface also shows that the transfer layer morphology varies depending on the metal sulphide used in the formulation. Hence, the results of this research indicate that the morphology of the transfer layer and the friction behaviour strongly depend on the oxidation mechanism of the metal sulphide.","PeriodicalId":315146,"journal":{"name":"EuroBrake 2021 Technical Programme","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117151061","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper will briefly describe the non-exhaust emission (NEE) and corrosion issues of brake systems of electrical vehicles (EV). The methods reported for NEE reduction will then be concisely reviewed. A new cost-effective coating technology, called PEA (plasma electrolytic aluminating), will be particularly presented in this talk for fighting NEE where alumina-coatings are prepared on commercial cast iron brake discs. Brake dynamometer test results show the coatings can increase friction levels and reduce wear for both brake discs and pads. The coatings can greatly increase corrosion/rust resistance. A car test also shows that the coated discs can reduce the braking distance and make wheel rims much cleaner. The better driving comfort and modulation should result from more consistent friction forces and less stick-slip problems during each brake event, which is a very important performance factor for advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and autonomous driving systems of EV. It is expected that the coated discs may last as long as the lifespan of passenger cars. Therefore, the sapphire coatings would benefit the brake system in terms of better sustainability and environmental friendliness.","PeriodicalId":315146,"journal":{"name":"EuroBrake 2021 Technical Programme","volume":"88 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122693590","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

According to recent post-COVID-19 scenarios based on IHS data, EVs will surge up to 14% of global passenger car sales in 2027 and go up to 57% in 2040. The electrification of future mobility concepts is going along with new requirements also for the brake system. EVs with regenerative braking applications utilize the traditional friction brakes in fewer circumstances due to recuperation: therefore the risk of superficial corrosion increases. In case of an emergency brake situation the basic requirement is that the braking surface will be free of corrosion to have maximum brake power. Thus, the corrosion-free condition on the braking surface is a safety requirement at any time. The state of the art solution consists of paintings or “coatings”, such as ultraviolet (UV)-hardening paint, Zn or Zn/Al paints, which can perform well in new conditions (e.g. up to 120 hours in standard UNI ISO 9227 salt fog chamber). But these solutions will be easily abraded within approximately 20 standard-condition braking applications. The corrosion-free condition during the lifetime of the disc is not achieved yet in the current state of the art; rust or corrosion can seriously downgrade the braking performances. This paper is describing an innovative 2-step process to improve the corrosion and wear resistance of standard cast iron brake discs. In the first step, the amount of undesired graphite lamellae will be reduced from the surface with customized parameters, according to the individual types of grey cast iron material of the substrate. This pre-process is followed by a thermochemical diffusion process including controlled oxidation of the substrate resulting in high corrosion protection of the rotors. The authors will produce proof of corrosion resistance up to 300 hours in salt conditions according to UNI ISO 9277. In addition, bench tests and vehicle endurance tests have been performed in cooperation with Tier 1 and OEMs and have shown increased wear resistance even with non-electric cars and with standard ECE brake pads. The novel surface solution could be also applied to non-functional areas of the brake disc like cooling channels, bell and swan neck in order to substitute the current paintings. In summary, the new 2-step heat treatment process is a price competitive solution for corrosion protection of functional and non-functional areas of iron casted brake discs over the entire lifetime, especially on EVs with strong recuperation. But this solution also works for hybrid and conventional cars in preferably on the rear axis with low-abrasive brake pads (e.g. NAO pads). Finally, even when the vehicle fleet goes all-electric, dust emission from brakes and tyres will still pollute the environment.
