Abstract
Nowadays the improvement researches of pad materials, which are widely used
in braking mechanisms of land vehicles, still maintain their popularity. In
general, it has been proven by the studies that the material
characteristics of the brake pads in composite structure vary greatly
depending on the manufacturing parameters. In this study, the effects of
sintering of Al2O3 added composite pads on braking performance via surface
temperature were investigated. In this context, 50, 75, and 125 mm Al2O3
particles were added to the lining composition and the results were
evaluated comparatively. The braking performances of the tested samples were
evaluated in terms of pad wear, pad surface temperature and friction
coefficient. As a result, it was observed that the braking performance of
sintered Al2O3 additives in all three dimensions was better.
