Abstract

The braking system is crucial for automobiles. The control and safety of vehicles are ensured through these systems. One of the most critical components of braking systems is the brake pads. A brake pad is expected to meet the requirements of optimal friction performance, wear resistance, and cost-effectiveness while also being non-toxic to human health. Brake pads contain a variety of materials and given the ban on asbestos and the negative environmental impact of copper, alternative materials for brake pads are of great importance for their performance. This study aims to contribute to the production of brake pads with better performance and less environmental damage, which are critical for both vehicle safety and environmental sustainability.

Özet

Fren sistemi araçlar için oldukça büyük bir öneme sahiptir. Araçların kontrolü ve güvenliği bu sistemler sayesinde sağlanmaktadır. Fren sitemlerinin en önemli bileşenleri fren balatalarıdır. Bir fren balatasının optimum şartlarda sürtünme performansı ve aşınma direncini karşılaması ve ekonomik olması beklenirken, insan sağlığı üzerinde toksik etkisinin de olmaması gerekmektedir. Fren balataları içeriğinde farklı birçok malzeme bulunmaktadır. Bu malzemelerden özellikle asbestin yasaklanması ve bakırın çevre üzerindeki olumsuz etkileri dikkate alındığında, fren balatalarının performansı üzerine alternatif malzemeler büyük önem taşımaktadır. Bu çalışmada hem araç güvenliği hem de çevresel sürdürülebilirlik açısından kritik olan fren balatalarının daha iyi performans sergileyen ve çevreye daha az zarar veren malzemelerle üretilmesine katkıda bulunmak amacıyla araştırma yapılmıştır.
