“…Studies [36,37] suggested the temperature of 175 • C to be suitable for the approximate temperature achieved in response to the braking action of the pad materials. Hence, the thermal conductivity analysis was also performed using NETZSCH LFA-467 hyper flash in a range between 20 • C and 175 • C to simulate conditions between ambient conditions to expected temperature of frictional heat in a braking system.…”

The wear debris from conventional brake pads is a growing source of environmental contamination that often leads to life-threatening diseases for human beings. Though the emerging organic brake pads show potential to serve as an eco-friendly alternative, their mechanical and tribological properties are not adequate to withstand the demands of high-wear resistance of a functioning braking system under regular use. Metal matrix composites have served as an optimal solution with minimal environmental pollution and appreciable physical properties. Owing to the popularity of aluminium metal matrix composites, the present study is based on the fabrication and characterization of SiC-reinforced LM6 alloy through stir casting methodologies for evaluating its worthiness in application as a brake pad material. Microstructural, compositional, and phase characterizations were executed through optical micrography, X-ray diffraction, and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy analysis. Although mechanical properties were evaluated through surface hardness investigation, parallel thermal properties were estimated through thermal conductivity evaluation. Finally, the execution of tribological analysis and precise microstructural observations of wear track at ambient and elevated temperatures helped in establishing the datum that the fabricated metal matrix composite (MMC) is a reliable brake pad material alternative.

“…Ceramic particle-reinforced aluminium matrix composite materials attain significant properties amid matrix and reinforcement materials. This intern enhances mechanical properties such as high strength, elastic modulus, toughness, thermal conductivity and wear resistance (Hossain et al, 2020;Chatterjee et al, 2022;Venkatesh et al, 2023). Although this composite can be prepared through various processes and methods.…”

High-strength-to-weight ratio materials are crucial for the automotive and aerospace sectors, driving the demand for advanced solutions. Traditional monolithic materials fall short of meeting these requirements, prompting the exploration of ceramic-based metal matrix composites. Among these, the Al/B4C composite stands out for its exceptional wear-resistant properties, attributed to its heightened hardness and shear resistance. This study investigates the wear performance of AA 7050-7.5% B4C-T6 Composite, produced via flux (K2TiF6) assisted stir casting method. The wear rate serves as the primary performance metric, evaluated using a pin-on-disc tribometer. Experimental design employs a Taguchi L9 orthogonal array, facilitating systematic analysis. Taguchi Analysis optimizes the process parameters, revealing insights into their impact on wear performance. The wear rate directly correlates with both applied load and sliding distance, indicating higher wear with increased stress and sliding duration. Additionally, the sliding speed intermittently influences the wear rate due to a Mechanical Mix Layer (MML) presence, highlighting the complex interplay of factors influencing wear behaviour. In summary, this research underscores the potential of AA 7050-7.5% B4C-T6 Composite as a promising wear-resistant material, offering valuable insights into optimizing its performance through controlled process parameters.
