Brake pads can suffer mechanical damages when they are exposed to a corrosive environment. The study focus here is on Non-asbestos organic (NAO) friction material (FM) which is known as a cocktail of several ingredients, which includes various fillers and reinforcing fibres held together by a thermosetting resin, mostly phenolic. Palm Kernel Shell (PKS) based friction material formulated with varying grain size particles (0.300, 0.425 and 0.850 mm) of PKS. A traditional corrosion testing method, the salt water solution immersion is used. After 7 days of immersion, localized corrosive film is noticeable on samples with 0.850 mm size while there is no noticeable change on the surfaces of samples with 0.300 and 0.425 mm grain sizes. The observed localized corrosive film is typical to pitting type of corrosion. Meanwhile, weight measurement of the samples before and after corrosion test shows and increment in weight (2.1220%, 1.7850% and 2.8774% respectively) after the test and this can be attributed to the diffusion of water into the friction lining within the immersion period. This result is in agreement with what is found in literature as well as suggested by the Turkish standard for corrosion test of passenger vehicles on highways (TS 9075).","PeriodicalId":354924,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE 9th International Conference on Mechanical and Intelligent Manufacturing Technologies (ICMIMT)","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122139693","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}

Despite these benefits, the formation of defects such as pores and cracks play a vital role in the quality of the deposited coatings. The presence of these unwanted artefacts on laser deposited coatings depends on the melting, cooling and solidification of the melt pool. In this research, a simulation of the heat transfers and fluid dynamics of the melt pool is developed to predict the process parameters and reinforcement proportions on the clad geometry quality. The results were compared to the experimental results for confirmation and validation.

Though, numerous problems emerged with the use of inorganic inhibitors due to their environmental threat to the environment. Owing to these problems, the use of organic green inhibitors (leaf extracts) came into limelight. However, many of these inhibitors decompose easily when subjected to elevated temperature which in turn reduces the efficiency of the inhibitors. In order to overcome some these aforementioned problems, synthetic polymers were found as an alternative. Vast research has been investigated and reported on the use of synthetic polymer compounds as corrosion inhibitors. The performance of these polymers is largely dependent on the moieties, molecular weight and composition associated with the molecular structure of the compound. -NH2-, -COOH-, -OH- and many more moieties block the active metal sites by the large film formed on the metal surface. This paper gives an overview of the behavior of synthetic polymers as corrosion inhibitors in acidic environment.","PeriodicalId":354924,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE 9th International Conference on Mechanical and Intelligent Manufacturing Technologies (ICMIMT)","volume":"63 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116922845","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 the simulation data, the empirical formula of cutting force for DCGT11T302-AK turning tool and ZL205A material is fitted. On this basis, this paper studies the force and deformation on the part by simulation analysis through the ABAQUS software, discovers the relationship between roundness error and cutting parameters: with the increase of cutting depth and feed rate, the roundness error is also increased. In order to achieve higher accuracy, we should control the depth of cut and feed rate to reduce the cutting force.","PeriodicalId":354924,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE 9th International Conference on Mechanical and Intelligent Manufacturing Technologies (ICMIMT)","volume":"68 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126220147","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}
