Properties of Jute Fibers Reinforced Friction Materials

Abstract:

Jute fibers reinforced friction materials were prepared by mold and heat treatment. The friction coefficients of 3wt.%,9wt.% and 12wt.% jute fibers reinforced friction materials were bigger than that of the materials without jute fibers in the heating condition. The friction coefficient of 6 wt.% jute fibers reinforced friction materials was bigger than that of the materials without jute fibers below 250°C. The friction coefficient of jute fibers reinforced friction materials deceased with the temperature decrease in the cooling condition. The friction coefficient of the materials with free-jute fibers raised from 350-250°C and reduced at the temperature lower than 250°C.Wear rates of the friction materials raised with temperature rise for jute fibers carbonization led to the matrix became loose. With jute fibers content rise worn surface of the reinforced materials became from smooth to rough. There were pits, grooves, abrasive particles, pulled out fibers and wear debris on the worn surfaces. Abrasive wear was the main wear mechanism.
