Frictional Heat Simulation of Brake Composites in a Pin-on-Disc Tribotesting

Abstract

This paper presents the comparative investigation of temperature distributions in the pin-on-disc tribo-contact with dry friction conditions. Heat generation and distribution mechanism in contact of a pin made by phenolic resin–based brake friction composite and 35HNL steel disc counter-face material were studied. Both experimental and simulation methods were used to study the temperature changes. In order to analyse the thermal effects, the change in the coefficient of friction with time were also characterized. Experimental friction tests performed on universal “pin-on-disc"-type friction and wear test machine model MMW-1. Interface temperature measurements of the disc was conducted non-contact type infra-red laser thermometer. Heat simulations were modelled via finite element method using COMSOL Multiphysics 5.5, Heat Transfer in Solid Module. The simulations helped to determine in the increase of temperature over selected time period. Obtained experimental results compared with results of numerical analysis.

Tribological Performance and Scuffing Resistance of Cast-Iron Cylinder Liners and Al-Si Alloy Cylinder Liners

“…At high loads, the temperature can be increased without damaging the oil film and exacerbating wear. All Conventional wear experiments are usually carried out using universal pin-disc or ball-disc testing machines, which are used to characterize the wear performance of materials [17,18]. However, for the cylinder liner and piston ring, the true motion of this friction pair is reciprocating, and there is lubricating oil between the two.…”

The effect of sintering time on the tribological properties of automotive brake pads

“…Therefore, the brake pad and friction layer must have the necessary hardness and properties. In addition to the material factor, manufacturing parameters can also play a decisive role in obtaining the desired properties [8]. Sintering is a heat treatment that brings the powder particles together at very high temperatures and enables the material to gain strength.…”
