WEAR & THERMAL ANALYSIS OF DISC BRAKE ROTOR FOR DIFFERENT MATERIALS

Mechanical Engineering

Brake is an essential component of moving vehicle, in which break is used for stopping or slowing down the vehicle. In vehicle various kinds of braking systems are used such as drum brake, disc brake, band brake which is operated by Pneumatically, Hydraulically, electrically, mechanically or by either combination of two means. The disc brake is loaded with various stresses, wear & squeal, in this study we are going to find the wear rate of disc brake rotor for different materials to find the best suitable alternative material. We are performing experimentation on disc brake rotor to obtain the Results for five different material, the wear rate are tested by using pin-on-disc machine. And temperature produces at surface is obtain from the test setup available. Then same disc modelled by using Catia & analyzed for each parameter by using Ansys. And then results are compared to obtain the results.
