Box no. 4, Harita, Hosur 635 109, Tamilnadu, India a r t i c l e i n f o a b s t r a c t Article history: In automotive industry, drum brake system is used on two types of wheels: cast and spoke. Received 20 November 2009 Brake drum, brake panel and brake drum liner are important components of the brake sys- Received in revised form 1 February 2010 tem. Failures of these components observed during high-g braking on spoke wheels of a Accepted 3 February 2010 motorcycle are reported and systematically analyzed in this paper. The brake drum and Available online 10 February 2010 the panel were found to have seized during high speed brake applications. Excessive wear on the drum liner made of cast iron was also observed. Metallurgical analysis (chemical Keywords: analysis, hardness test and microstructure analysis) of the liner revealed that excessive Metallurgical failure analysis Wear wear on the liner was not due to any change in material properties. Hence, further steps Thermal expansion were taken to investi
