<p>This study evaluates the tribological performance of two aftermarket (AM) brake pads (BP-1 and BP-2) and one original equipment (OE) brake pad (BP-3) using a variety of tests including fade and recovery cycles, coefficient of friction (CoF) under different conditions, wear analysis, and thermal stability. BP-3 consistently outperformed the other samples, demonstrating superior thermal stability, wear resistance, and the highest CoF (0.518) under high-temperature conditions. It had the lowest fade percentage (5.88%) and the highest recovery (114.59%), making it the most reliable for high-temperature braking applications.

摘要

This study evaluates the tribological performance of two aftermarket (AM) brake pads (BP-1 and BP-2) and one original equipment (OE) brake pad (BP-3) using a variety of tests including fade and recovery cycles, coefficient of friction (CoF) under different conditions, wear analysis, and thermal stability. BP-3 consistently outperformed the other samples, demonstrating superior thermal stability, wear resistance, and the highest CoF (0.518) under high-temperature conditions. It had the lowest fade percentage (5.88%) and the highest recovery (114.59%), making it the most reliable for high-temperature braking applications. BP-1 performed well with a good CoF (0.509) but exhibited higher fade (24.19%). BP-2 showed the lowest performance overall with low CoF, high wear, and inadequate fade resistance. The ranking based on the Extension Evaluation Method (EEM) placed BP-3 as the top performer, followed by BP-1, with BP-2 requiring significant improvements to meet safety standards. This research concludes that BP-3 is the most balanced and durable brake pad for consistent braking performance, making it a superior choice for extended use in vehicles.
