Abstract

WEAR ANALYSIS OF COMPOSITE MATERIAL MADE BY BLENDING OF NATURALLY AVAILABLE COCONUT SHELL POWDER (CSP)

ABSTRACT

The Aim of the study is to develop a natural, eco-friendly brake pad materials. Coconut shell powder which is one of the naturally available material with outstanding potential in brake pads. Coconut shell powder (CSP) has properties like thermal conductivity, thermal stability, strength etc., which are essential for friction materials. Composite Material for the brake pad was fabricated using Epoxy Resin as binder. Keeping this in view the present work has been under taken to develop a polymer matrix composite (epoxy resin) using coconut shell powder and to study its tribological behaviour, Experiments have been conducted under laboratory condition to assess the frictional wear behaviour of the developed composite. Four different compositions were prepared with varying Al from 0.001, 5, 10 and 15 percent along with binder and grit sizes 0.15,0.40,0.75,0.90 mm. The experiment was conducted by keeping speed, load and time interval constant. From wear considerations, grit size G1(0.15 mm) and % composition of AL powder C4(15%) is the best composite in present investigation.
