EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION OF A NOVEL FRICTION MODIFIER IN COMPOSITE MATERIALS

Abstract

In this study, waste banana tree powder was turned into powder and its use in automotive brake lining was investigated. For this purpose, 3 different samples were produced by using powder metallurgy production techniques. Waste banana tree powder (WBTP) was added in different rates (3%, 6% and 9% by weight), keeping the determined content constant. Firstly, homogenous mixtures of the ingredients are provided and then final shapes are given by hot pressing method. The friction, wear, hardness and density analysis of the brake lining samples and the effects of the use of WBTP on the brake lining were evaluated.
