Abstract

Asbestos poses a high risk to health, such as being carcinogenic and hazardous to the environment, it should not be used in brake pads. Natural ceramics are therefore of interest to researchers because of their excellent properties, affordability, availability, non-toxicity, etc. The mechanical and tribological properties of a non-asbestos brake pad were compared to those of an asbestos brake pad in this study. The brake pads can be replaced by natural ceramics such as marble dust powder, with additives such as aluminium oxide. Epoxy resin is utilized as a binding agent. For increased strength, marble dust powder is used. Abrasive materials are aluminium oxide. This helps to make brake pads with a high friction coefficient and less wear rate with low noise pollution. Catia v5 software the structural model of the brake pad is developed. The objective of the project is natural ceramics as an alternative to asbestos. The outcomes are what matter due to the varying filler compositions' effects on the mechanical and physical qualities. Hardness tests have been performed, and the behavior of materials with various compositions has been researched. The resulting marble slabs' properties regarding water absorption have also been evaluated. KEYWORDS: Composite Material, Marble Dust Powder, Aluminium Oxide, Hand Layup Process
