The brake discs are subjected to thermal load due to sliding by the brake pad and fluctuating
loads because of the braking load. This combined loading problem requires simulation …

Gray cast iron (GCI) is a popular automotive brake disc material by virtue of its high melting
point as well as excellent heat storage and damping capability. GCI is also attractive …

In the present paper, the wear behaviour of aluminium metal matrix composite (Al MMC)
sliding against automobile friction material has been compared with the conventional grey …

Tribological behavior of stir-cast Al–Si/SiCp composites against automobile brake pad
material was studied using Pin-on-Disc tribo-tester. The Al-metal matrix composite (Al-MMC) …

From a tribological prospect, the brake pad-disc system undergoes severe abrasive and
adhesive wear mechanism in the production of wear debris. Because of the constant …

An automotive brake disc or rotor is a device for slowing or stopping the motion of a wheel
while it runs at a certain speed. The widely used brake rotor material is cast iron which …

Non-exhaust particle (NEP) emissions from road traffic contribute significantly to Particulate
Matter (PM) pollution in urban areas. The primary objective herein is to develop the …

Aluminum alloys are well known light-weight alloys and very interesting materials to
optimize the strength/weight ratio in order to reduce automotive vehicle weight, fuel …

Tribological behavior of aluminium matrix composite (AMC)/brake pad tribo-couple under
dry sliding conditions was studied using Pin-on-Disc machine. Brake pad material was used …

Plasma cladding has been widely applied in surface modification and repairing. In this
study, the NiCrBSi coating was prepared on gray cast iron by plasma cladding. Scanning …
