Friction coefficients, temperature/pressure effectsAbstract
Material mix and composition as well as detailed production processes using saw-dust as base friction lining material have been studied. The resulting friction brake lining materials were additionally subjected to thermal cycles and associated baking and curing. The final products were thereafter subjected to laboratory and road performance tests which included investigations of the effects of temperature and pressure on the friction lining coefficients, the response to immersion in water, lining surface hardness values and the average rate of wear during actual performance on the road. Other physical and mechanical properties were also investigated. The results show that these products possess acceptable properties for commercial applications.
