Brake Pad Performance Characteristic Assessment Methods

Abstract

Along with the developing technology, expectations for improved automobile brake pads are also rising. Research on higher performance brake pads is contin-uing at a rapid pace. It is also recognized that in this field, widespread efforts are being made towards the production of brake pads which are economical, envi-ronmentally friendly and do not pose risks to human health. In recent years, non-industrial waste products have also been used as additives in brake pads, thus contributing to local economy. Performance tests have to be carried out so that the brake pads produced with the new compositions can be used. For this reason, the performance tests of the brake pads are important. This study brings a new overview via an investigation of the methods applied in determining their per-formance characteristics.
