Phenolic resin is invariably
used as binder material for friction composites. But alternative materials are
considered alternatively to phenolic resin due to negativities such as poor
shelf life, harmful volatiles during processing, the need for addition of
curing agent before shipment, shrinkage and voids in final products. For these
reasons, pinus brutia cones are ground and pulverized and added to the brake
lining content at different rates and thus 3 different samples were produced.
The wear and friction tests of these samples were made on pin-on disc type
brake lining test machine. After this, the density of the samples was
determined by using Archimedes scale. The hardness was determined in the
Brinell tester. And finally, the microstructure properties of the samples were
determined by using a scanning electron microscope (SEM).
