 Аbstract

In this study, experiment were conducted to determine influental process parameters to the hardness and porosity properties of newly developed brake pad composites. Brake pad composites were preperad by traditional powder metallurgy methods. The development of friction brake pad specimens used in this work were based on a nonasbestos organic type formulation. The plan of experiments conducted to by 2-level design model using 5 factor on base L8 array. Results of analysis of variance showed that “plasticizer” was most important factor to influence both properties.
