Investigation of the Effect of Surface Roughness on Friction Performance of Brake Pad
Vehicle brake pads are produced by combining more than one material. Having different properties of the material forming the brake pad composition is affect to the friction performance of the vehicle. During braking, high temperatures occur in the vehicle brake pads. Depending on the temperature change, the friction coefficient and wear resistance of the brake pad are desired to be high. In this study, the effect of brake pad surface roughness on friction performance was investigated. The friction coefficient and wear tests of the brake pads with different surface roughness values were examined and their effect on the friction performance was determined.
