Abstract
The brake pad material was fabricated using asbestos-free agro-waste sugar cane bagasse ash (SCBA) at low cost by a compression molding technique. SCBA in varying proportions (0%, 5%, and 10% weight) was added to the composite mixture containing epoxy resin as a binder. The size of the SCBA particle was 300 µm. The fabricated brake pad was subjected to mechanical, physical, and tribological analyses. The obtained results were compared with conventional asbestos-based brake pad material. The results showed that the sample having 10% SCBA as filler content has high tensile strength, flexural strength, density, low water, and oil absorption. Also, the hardness test and impact test results revealed the suitability of SCBA in brake pad material.
