Characterization of Fade and Recovery Behavior （褪色和恢复行为的描述）.pdf

INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY, NIRMA UNIVERSITY, AHMEDABAD – 382 481, 08-10 DECEMBER, 2011 1 Characterization of Fade and Recovery Behavior of Brake Friction Material Pradnya Kosbe, Chittaranjan More shear thinning interfacial rheology at the braking junctions Abstract --The loss in braking effectiveness at elevated [8–10]. Traditionally the cause of fade has always been temperatures and the revival of the same at lower temperatures ascribed to the degradation of the phenolic resin [3], [4]. is referred to as fade and recovery, respectively. These Hence to compensate this to some extent brass and copper characteristics are of great significance in the performance powders are incorporated into the friction materials as evaluation of friction materials. This paper deals with fade and thermal conductivity boosters and aluminum and zinc recovery behavior of non asbestos disc brake friction material. powders are used to impart better recovery characteristics to Key Words—Brake, fade, friction and recovery. the friction material. I. INTRODUCTION In the present scenario developing composites with higher resistance to oxidation, thermal degradation and fade, fiber Disc brake friction materials con
