Title : WEAR ANALYSIS OF ECO-FRIENDLY MATERIALS FOR AUTOMOTIVE BRAKE PAD APPLICATIONS

Abstract :

The automotive industry is actively seeking ways to minimize the environmental impact of vehicles, particularly regarding brake pads. Traditional brake pad compositions often contain hazardous materials that can harm both humans and the environment. This study focuses on developing and characterizing eco-friendly materials as potential alternatives. Various eco-friendly materials, such as Coconut oil residue (COR), Sesame oil residue (SOR), and Groundnut oil residue (GOR), reinforced with phenolic resins, are analyzed for their wear rate. Through wear analysis using a pin-on-disc friction and wear apparatus, the weight loss of these materials is evaluated. This research aims to provide valuable insights into the potential of these eco-friendly materials in replacing traditional brake pad compositions. The findings will contribute to the automotive industry's ongoing efforts to reduce the environmental footprint associated with vehicles.
