Review of development of brake pads using sawdust composite

Abstract

This paper provides analysis of the manufacture of asbestos-free brake pads using wood sieve. Reducing the utilization of asbestos that has cancer dirt was performed. The wood was sieved into sieve grades of a 100, 280, 355μm and one millimeter. The sieve wood was employed in the manufacture of brake pads compression moulding within the magnitude relation of 20% resin, 10% graphite, 15% steel, 35-55% wood and 0-20% silicon inorganic compound. The studied material properties embody microstructure, hardness, compressive strength, density, flames resistance, water absorption. The microstructure displays uniform distribution of resin within the wood. The results obtained showed that the stronger the materials, the finer the sieve capability. The results obtained during this study is the comparison of industrial brake pads.
