Abstract
The tribological properties of abrasive-based novel friction materials, viz., Alumina, SiC, and SiO2, were characterized for physical and chemical properties. The wear and frictional performance were evaluated under various operating conditions like speed and pressure. Reduced scale prototype was set up to evaluate performance parameters. Worn surface of friction materials was analyzed over SEM to understand the surface wear. Result showed that under the different operating conditions, SiO2 has higher wear resistance followed by SiC and alumina that had least wear resistance. Apart from this, better friction properties were observed for SiO2 that was followed by alumina and SiC.
