Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this study is to investigate the influence of solid lubricants (tungsten disulfide [WS2]/ Tin disulfide [SnS2]) on the tribological performance of brake pads.
Design/methodology/approach
In this study, the brake pads were developed by varying the solid lubricants (WS2/SnS2) without varying the other ingredients. The brake pads were developed as per the industrial procedure. Thermal stability was found for varying ingredients and developed pads. The physical, mechanical and thermal properties of the developed brake pads were analyzed as per the industrial standards. The tribological properties were analyzed using the Chase test. The worn surface analysis was done using scanning electron microscopy, elemental mapping and three-dimensional profile analysis.
Findings
The experimental results indicate that the WS2-based brake pads possess good physical, chemical and mechanical properties with stable friction and less wear rate due to its good lubrication film formation and thermal stability natures of WS2.
Originality/value
This paper explains the effect of solid lubricants in brake pads for enhancing the tribological performance by the shearing of crystal structure, thermal stability and tribo film properties of the lubricants.
