The effects of solid lubricants on wear and friction characteristics of friction materials were studied using a pad-on-disk type friction tester. Friction materials with four different formulations containing different relative amounts of solid lubricants(graphite, MoS$_2$, and Sb$_2$S$_3$) were investigated. Results of this work showed that each formulation with different lubricants had unique friction characteristics. Friction material containing rich MoS$_2$ showed excellent friction stability at different friction conditions. However friction material containing rich Sb$_2$S$_3$revealed high wear of friction materials.

The effect of microstructure of gray cast iron disk was investigated by using a pad-on-disk type friction tester. Three different rotors with different microstructures were studied in this work. They showed a pearlitic matrix, a ferritic matrix, and a martensitic structure, respectively. All of them have graphite flakes in common. Drag tests at different pressure and speed conditions were carried out to study friction stability, temperature rise during drags. The rotor containing pearlitic matrix showed lower values of friction coefficient, small amount of temperature rise, and less fading. The results showed that gray cast iron disk containing pearlitic matrix has good friction characteristics.

The effect of manufacturing parameters such as molding and curing conditions on friction characteristics of friction materials were studied using a pad-on-disk type friction tester. The optimal manufacturing rendition for the best friction characteristics were investigated using friction materials containing 15 ingredients employing Taguchi robust design experiment. The friction characteristics were strongly affected by pressing time, pressing temperature, pressing pressure, curing time, curing temperature.

Friction characteristics of phenolic resin-based friction composites containing threedifferent relative amounts of graphite and zirconium silicate were investigated by using a pad-on-disk type friction tester. Constant temperature test and constant interval test at three different initial temperatures(100. 200, 300$^{\circ}C$) were performed to examine the effects of friction heat on friction characteristics at elevated temperature. The friction composite(FMO.7) with higher content of ZrSiO$_4$showed unstable friction force at higher temperature and resulted in larger fluctuations of vibration during friction test. The abrasive action of ZrSiO$_4$in friction composite impeded stable transfer film and induced higher friction heat at friction interface. Friction oscillations according to the temperature were associated with the formation of transfer film(i'd body layer) on the friction composite and the counter part.

Friction characteristics and electrical resistance of sliding contacts in slipring-brush assembly were investigated. Four brush materials containing relative amounts of copper and graphite were studied. The result showed that a copper-graphite brush at a particular graphite content exhibited the most stable frictional and electrical behaviour suggesting an optimum amount of solid lubricant in metal-graphite brush system. Microscopic observation and the surface analysis showed good agreement with this phenomena.

Automotive brake pads with four different sizes of zircon particles (average sizes of 1㎛, 6㎛, 75㎛, and 140㎛, respectively) were investigated to evaluate the size effect of abrasive particles on friction performance. Results showed that the brake pads with the larger size of zircon particles tend to show better frictional stability and low pad wear. However, the rotor surface was severely abraded in the case of using larger zircon particles. On the other hand, the small zircon particles in the pads showed the fast increase of the coefficient of friction with friction force oscillation and the tendency was pronounced at low sliding speeds. The brake pads with small particle sizes also exhibited strong fade phenomena at elevated temperatures.

Friction materials with three different formulations containing different solid lubricants were investigated to study the role of lubricants on the friction performance. The three friction materials contained graphite 10 vol.%, graphite 7 vol.%+$MoS_2$ 3 vol.%, and graphite 7 vol.%+$Sb_2S_3$ 3 vol.%, respectively, with the same amount of other ingredients. Results of this work showed that each formulation with different lubricants had unique advantages and disadvantages. The friction materials containing graphite 7 vol.%+$MoS_2$ 3 vol.% and graphite 7 vol.%+$Sb_2S_3$ 3 vol.% showed better resistance to fading and improved friction stability compared to the friction materials containing graphite only as a lubricant. However, the friction materials with two lubricants (graphite+$MoS_2$ or $Sb_2S_3$) showed disadvantages on DTV generation and rotor wear.

In this work, friction materials with three different formulations containing different amounts of the solid lubricants were investigated to study the role of lubricants on the friction performance. The three friction materials contained graphite 10 vol. %, graphite 7 vol. % + MoS$_2$ 3 vol.%, and graphite 7 vol. % + $Sb_2S_3$ 3 vol. %, respectively, with the same amount of other ingredients. Results of this work showed that each formulation with different lubricants had unique advantages and disadvantages. The friction materials containing graphite 7 vol. % + MoS$_2$ 3 vol. % and graphite 7 % + $Sb_2S_3$ 3 vol. % showed better resistance to fading and improved friction stability compare to the friction materials containing graphite only as a lubricant. However, the friction materials with two lubricants (graphite + MoS$_2$ or $Sb_2S_3$) showed disadvantages on stick-slip phenomena, amplitude of torque, and rotor wear.

Friction properties of two different types of automotive friction materials were studied. They were nonasbestos organic and semi-metallic friction materials. The two friction materials were tested using an inertia brake dynamometer to investigate friction stability, rooster tailing phenomena, temperature change of riction couples during drags and stops. Results showed that the level of the friction force is strong function of time, temperature, and speed regardless of the type of friction materials. The change of triction coefficient during braking (rooster tailing) was pronounced when the applied pressure was increased in the case of semi-metallic friction materials. This phenomena appears strongly dependent on the applied pressure, initial brake temperature and ingredients in the friction material.

The friction characteristics of phenolic resin and model friction materials were investigated with the content of hexamethylenetetamine (HEXA). At 10 wt.% of HEXA, the phenolic resin and model friction materials showed the most stable friction coeffcient in constant temperature test at various test conditions because of its good thermal stability and proper curing reaction. It was found from constant interval test in mild condition that the friction coeffcients of friction materials cured with 10 wt.% of HEXA was the highest and stable values in the whole range of braking operations. However, at the severe condition in constant interval test, the friction coefficient of friction materials cured with 10 wt.% to of HEXA was lowered and as the number of braking operation increased, the values became stable. In order to obtain the thormal stable friction materials, the content of HEXA from 5 to 10 wt.% could be recommended.
