The Effect of Graphite and NBR on the Hardness of Fly-Ash/Phenolic Composite for Brake Lining Application

Article Preview

Abstract:

Composite development is very intense to replace heavy and expensive metallic materials. One application of composite is a brake pad for vehicle. The composite for brake lining is consisted of various components which are divided into reinforcement, binder, friction modifier and filler. Composite in this study is made with variation in weight of graphite, NBR, fly-ash and phenolic resin. The hardness test was carried out to investigate the mechanical properties of the composite. Observation of the composite surface was carried out using SEM. The hardness test shows that an appropriate composition of the phenolic, fly-ash and NBR was result in high hardness value of fly-ash/phenolic composite.
