The rapid expansion for the auto-industry and the worldwide trend toward non-asbestos friction materials for brake lining force our industry to transfer into non-asbestos ones from asbestos-based friction materials. Furthermore, it is imperative for the friction materials to have technological excellence and lower production cost to be competitive in the world market. There is no known theoretical procedures to formulate friction materials. It, rather, depends on the trial and error process. Thus, it is quite clear how important it is to accumulate the know-how on the formulation and manufacturing the friction material. This study concerns the practical ways of conceptualizing the formulation and optimizing the manufacturing process. This study focused on the development of formulation for non-asbestos friction material as well as deriving the physical properties of the trial product to prove its validity and applicability. Elaboration of the formula and optimizing scheme of the manufacturing process to get better quality are also sought. Physical properties were obtained by constant velocity test dynamotest, hardness test and strength test. Differential scanning calorimeter was also used to analyze the thermal reactions of organic constituents, microstructures, bond effects, and degree of mixture.

Along with the rapid development of automobile industry in this country the necessity of high quality braking material is ever increased to maintain the comfortness as well as the safety the passengers. Asbestos-based friction materials are banned in the developed countries because of their cancer-inducing effect. This study focuses on the development of non-acbestos friction material with acceptable properties such as wear resistant high temperature endurant and low-noise enducing. We have all the intermediate test results indicating the contribution of each additives. These are qualitatively analyzed. Manufacturing processes such as opening of the kevlar and degasing at elevated temperature is equally important to attain proper level of friction quality.
