Brake Pad Production and Braking Characteristics Analysis for Military Vehicles

Abstract

In this study, the production of brake pads suitable for special conditions for military vehicles and the examination of the braking characteristics of these pads were carried out. In addition, it is intended to create an ideal braking system for military tanks with special operating conditions. In this direction, pad formulation studies were carried out for use in military tanks and the performance of brake pads produced by hot pressing method was evaluated with Chase and Dynamometer tests. Additionally, the pad properties were examined in detail with chemical tests before and after the baking process. As a result of the tests, it has been determined that the brake pad, which is a critical component for the safety and effectiveness of military vehicles, is included in the F group pad standard. The results obtained enabled the changes in the properties of the pad material and the braking performance of the pad to be determined.

Askeri Araçlar için Fren Balatası Üretimi ve Frenleme Karakteristiğinin İncelenmesi

Abstract

Bu çalışmada, askeri araçlar için özel koşullara uygun fren balatası üretimi ve bu balataların frenleme karakteristiklerinin incelenmesi gerçekleştirilmiştir. Ek olarak, özel çalışma koşullarına sahip askeri tanklar için ideal bir frenleme sistemi oluşturmak amaçlanmıştır. Bu doğrultuda, askeri tanklarda kullanılmak üzere balata formülasyon çalışmaları gerçekleştirilmiş ve sıcak basım yöntemiyle üretilen fren balatalarının performansı Chase ve Dinamometre testleriyle değerlendirilmiştir. Ayrıca, fırınlama işlemi öncesi ve sonrasında kimyasal testlerle balata özellikleri detaylı bir şekilde incelenmiştir. Askeri araçların güvenliği ve etkinliği için kritik bir bileşen olan fren balatasının yapılan testler sonucu F grubu balata standardında yer aldığı belirlenmiştir. Elde edilen sonuçlar, balata malzemesinin özelliklerindeki değişimleri ve balatanın frenleme performansının belirlenmesini sağlamıştır.
