Effect of Pressing Pressure on Density and Hardness of Powder Miscanthus Reinforced Brake Pads

Abstract:

The aim of this paper is to develop new natural fibre reinforced for automotive brake pad application. For this purpose, new brake pad sampleswere produced using Miscanthus as reinforcement ingredient. The other ingredients are Cashew, Alumina, Phenolic Resin, and Calcite. Three different laboratory formulations were prepared with varying Miscanthus fibre contents from 10, 25, and 40 (wt) and these formulations were moulded four different moulding pressure values such as 50, 100, 200, and 300 MPa. Sieve analysis, density, apparent density, and hardness properties of brake pad samples produced are examined.
