Abstract
The tribological performance of brake friction composites (FCs) with SSS1140 Stainless steel fiber (Equivalent to EN304) is studied using a pin-on-disk tribometer. Five friction composites, namely SSB5, SSB10, SSB15, SSB20, and SSB25 were developed with 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25% of stainless steel fiber, respectively, by compensating the inert filler BaSO4. The friction and wear characteristics are evaluated at dry sliding condition based on ASTM G99-95. The performance is investigated with three different normal loads (10, 20, and 30 N) and speeds (1, 2, and 3 m/s). It is observed that the increase in fiber content increases the friction coefficient (0.21–0.49). The specific wear rate of the friction composite observed as SSB5 < SSB10 < SSB15 < SSB20 < SSB25. It is observed that the SSB20 and SSB25 are more aggressive towards rotor wear which is also indicated by the higher hardness of the respective FCs. The physical, chemical, and mechanical properties of the developed friction composites are also studied with IS 2742 and ISO 6315, and the performance values also lies between the prescribed industrial standards.
