While emissions control regulation has led to a substantial reduction in exhaust emissions
from road traffic, currently non-exhaust emissions from road vehicles are unabated. These …

Disc brake squeal remains an elusive problem in the automotive industry. Since the early
20th century, many investigators have examined the problem with experimental, analytical …

Abstract Effect of Si addition on the high temperature tribological properties of TiZrV 0.5 Nb
0.5 refractory high entropy alloy was systematically studied. The results demonstrate that Si …

The gradual phasing-out of asbestos in automotive brake friction materials in many parts of
the world has sparked the onset of extensive research and development into safer …

The Handbook of Surface and Nanometrology explains and challenges current concepts in
nanotechnology. It covers in great detail surface metrology and nanometrology and more …

The tribological contact in automotive brakes involves dry sliding contact at high speeds and
high contact forces. The commonly used organic binder-type brake pad friction materials are …

The paper addresses the wear particles released from commercially available “low-metallic”
automotive brake pads subjected to brake dynamometer tests. Particle size distribution was …

Despite the enormous amount of testing and development of automotive brakes and brake
pad materials, rather little is known about their tribological contact situation on a microscopic …

The tribological phenomena that occur in brake systems are interesting even in other
respects than just the braking action. One important issue, that is gaining increasing …

The tribological behavior of a commercial brake pad material, wear tested under dry sliding
conditions against a cast iron counterface disc with a pin-on-disc apparatus, was …
