dust along with boric acid (BA) has been investigated for assessing the
effect on friction coefficient. CPC has resin in it. BA is a boron production
which is widely used in boron glass production and in ceramic industry
for increasing the heat resistant and forming abrasion resistant. Newly
formulated brake lining material with five different ingredients has been
tested under Friction Assessment and Screening Test (FAST). Friction coefficient,
wear rate and scanning electron microscope (SEM) for friction surfaces
were examined to assess the performance of these samples.]]>Bijwe, J.,199718378396Filip, P., Z. Weiss and D. Rafaja,2002252189198Hee, K.W. and P. Filip,200525910881096Kristkova, M., P. Filip Z.
