Abstract |
|
Studying about asbestos-free materials for brake pads is necessary as the asbestos brake pads causing the health hazardous effects and these are phased out. There are so many alternatives for asbestos are investigated from different journals. In this review paper some of the most suitable environment friendly and best performed compositions are presented. Fibers made up of agricultural wastes like banana peels, palm kernel shells, palm wastes, rock wool, aramid fibers, flax fibers etc are studied. Different alternatives for filler materials, Different binders like phenolic resin, epoxy resin are also studied and it effect on the performance of brake pads are presented. Formulations that are made by varying compositions of filler, fiber, binder etc and possibility of replacing the existing formulations and its effect on the physical and tribological properties of the brake pad are studied. |
