In this study, we investigate the mechanical properties of high manganese steel, and the friction and wear characteristics of brake friction material containing this steel, for passenger car application, with the aim of replacing copper and copper alloys whose usage is expected to be restricted in the future. These steels are prepared using a vacuum induction melting furnace to produce binary and ternary alloys. The hardness and tensile strength of the high manganese steel decrease and the elongation increases with increase in manganese content. This material exhibits high values of hardness, tensile strength, and elongation; these properties are similar to those of 7-3 brass used in conventional friction materials. We fabricate high manganese steel fibers to prepare test pad specimens, and evaluate the friction and wear characteristics by simulating various braking conditions using a 1/5 scale dynamometer. The brake pad material is found to have excellent friction stability in comparison with conventional friction materials that use 7-3 brass fibers; particularly, the friction stability at high temperature is significantly improved. Additionally, we evaluate the wear using a wear test method that simulates the braking conditions in Europe. It is found that the amount of wear of the brake pad is the same as that in the case of the conventional friction material, and that the amount of wear of the cast iron disc is reduced by approximately 10. The high manganese steel is expected to be useful in the development of eco-friendly, copper-free friction material.

Recently, according to the advances of vehicle manufacturing technology and the fuel-efficient vehicles, the weight of the vehicle body has been reduced and quietness of the vehicle has been increased. So that, as the emotional qualities of cars, such as NVH, are emphasized in recent years. Also required to be established of the effective measure for brake Judder. The Judder was caused by the increase in DTV by the uneven thermo metamorphosis of brake disc and the partial abrasion of disc. In this study, the disc aggression by friction materials was confirmed and the improving methods of friction materials in connection with the abrasive characteristics reviewed of $ZrSiO_4$ each particle size(under $3{\mu}m$, $5{\sim}10{\mu}m$ and over $15{\mu}m$). In addition, the study is institute make use of limit for $ZrSiO_4$ raw-material particle size and vol% in friction materials. At the result, the optimum size of $ZrSiO_4$ particles was confirmed about 5 to $10{\mu}m$.

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.

Low alloy heat resistant brake disk and sintered brake pad are applied to mechanical brake system for the speed-up of urban rapid transit. In this research, we analyzed how the frictional characteristics between brake disk and pad are influenced by the disk mass. At a high disk mass, the friction stability was the lower value as a result of the lack of tribofilm formation at the disk surface. Wear rates of friction materials showed the higher value at a low disk mass and wear rates of 10 mm and 15 mm showed the similar level. Average friction coefficient was the lower value at the 10 mm disk thickness and range of variation of average friction coefficient was also the smaller value at the 10 mm disk thickness. However, there were no significant changes in the friction coefficients under any of test conditions. Surface roughness of a disk showed the highest value at the 5 mm disk and surface roughnesses of 10 mm and 15 mm showed the similar level. As a result, friction characteristics of disk mass influenced the friction stability, as well as the wear rate of friction pad and disk, but not the friction coefficient.

Cu-Matrix sintered brake pads and low alloyed heat resistance steel are most applied to basic brake system for high energy moving machine. In this research, we analyzed tribological characteristics for influence of air velocity between disk and pad. At low brake pressure with air flow, friction stability was decreased due to no formation of tribofilm at disk surface. But there are no significant change of friction coefficient at all test conditions. Wear rate of friction materials were decreased with increasing of air flow velocity. In result, air flow velocity influenced friction stability, wear rate of friction materials and disk but not friction coefficient.

Tribological properties of ceramic brake discs were investigated using a commercial friction material. The discs were manufactured by liquid silicon infiltration (LSI) into a C-C preform. The disc surface was modified by two different methods, producing sliding surfaces with chopped carbon fibers and carbon felt. In addition, the composition of the surface was also changed. Friction characteristics of the discs were examined using a 1/5 scale dynamometer. Results showed that the type and composition of the disc surface significantly affected the level of braking effectiveness and high temperature brake performance. The discs with felt surfaces showed higher friction levels than those with chopped fiber surfaces and SiC tended to increase the friction level while C lowered the friction coefficient. The ceramic disc was more sensitive to the deceleration rate than gray iron, showing high speed sensitivity.

대표적으로 높은 운동에너지를 가지는 고속철도와 항공기의 제동장치에 적용되는 금속계 소결마찰재와 내열강 간의 트라이볼로지 특성 연구를 목적으로 각각 2종류의 고속철도용 금속계 마찰재와 항공기용 금속계 마찰재를 Lab-Scale Dynamometer를 이용하여 시험하였다. 그 결과 철도용 금속계 마찰재가 항공기용 마찰재에 비해 높은 마찰계수 및 마찰계수 안정성을 나타내었고, 마모량도 철도용 금속계 마찰재는 항공기용 마찰재에 비해 약 50%수준에 불과하여 본 시험조건에서는 철도용 소결마찰재가 뛰어난 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 동계 마찰재가 철계 마찰재보다 제동시 급격하게 온도가 상승하며, 냉각도 동계 마찰재가 빨리 되지만, 동계 마찰재라도 마찰재의 기지의 량에 따라 달라지는 것으로 나타났다. 마찰재에 따라 마찰면에 형성되는 산화피막의 안정성은 달라지는 것으로 나타났으며, 산화피막은 $Fe_2O_3$와 $Fe_3O_4$계통이며, 마찰재에 따라서 마모메카니즘이 달라지는 것으로 판단된다.

Friction materials with four different sizes of zircon - l${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$, 6${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$, 75${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$, 140${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$- were investigated to evaluate the size effects of abrasive particles used in the automotive brake pads on brake performance. Although the brake pads with the largest size of zircon showed a good frictional stability and low wear, rotors were severely abraded due to the aggressiveness of coarse Bircon. As the siBe of zircon decreased. friction force and the amplitude of friction coefficient increased. Considering the above results, abrasive materials were thought to destroy transfer film and the extent of the destruction depends on the size of zircon. The small size zircon was not effective in developing a transfer layer on the rotor surface while minimizing the damage on the counter surface.

Tribological properties of the semi-metallic friction materials containing different solid lubricants (graphite, $WS_2$, $MoS_2$) were investigated. The friction materials were fabricated with an experimental formulation and tested with gray cast iron disks. Results showed that graphite contributed to stabilize the friction coefficient during run-in processes. Also, graphite provided better fade resistance than that of $WS_2$ and $MoS_2$. At intermediate temperature ranges, however, friction materials with $WS_2$ or $MoS_2$ maintained higher friction effectiveness than that of graphite. On the other hand, friction materials containing $MoS_2$ showed increased wear rates than that with graphite or $WS_2$. Friction materials with proper combinations of two solid lubricants showed better friction and wear properties than that of the friction materials containing single solid lubricant.

Cu-matrix-sintered brake pads and heat-resistant low-alloy steel are commonly applied to basic brake systems in high-energy moving machines. We analyzed how the tribological characteristics are influenced by the inertial mass. A high inertial mass decreased the friction coefficient by about 15% compared to a low inertial mass under all velocity conditions. The wear rates of the friction materials increased with the inertial mass. Thus, the inertial mass influences the friction coefficient and wear rate of the friction materials and disk but not the friction stability.
