Hardness and wear rate of basalt/alumina/shellfish powder reinforced phenolic resin matrix hybrid composite brake lining pads

Abstract

This paper explain the behavior of hybrid composites phenolic resin with basalt/alumina/shellfish powder reinforced on brake lining pad. Hybrid composite brake has been manufactured use compaction and sintering process through any steps, that an emphasis of 2,000 kg for 30 minutes at a constant temperature of 150° C. The research aims to investigate hardness characteristic and wear rate of hybrid composite that test using the Vickers according to standard ASTM E-384. The reinforced materials and matrix polymer composition is 60%: 40%. The results show for the average hardness VHN to 24.18, 25.11, 26.34, 27.21 and 28.83. The average hardness hybrid composite shows the hardness harder than asbestos materials. The value of asbestos lining pads wear is 0.00011 g/m, while the wear value of composite hybrid brake lining pads is 0.00009 g/m to 0.000071 g/m.
