Abstract
Phenolic resin is invariably used as binder material for friction composites. But alternative materials are considered alternatively to phenolic resin due to negativities such as poor shelf life, harmful volatiles during processing, the need for addition of curing agent before shipment, shrinkage and voids in final products. For these reasons, pinus brutia cones are ground and pulverized and added to the brake lining content at different rates and thus 3 different samples were produced. The wear and friction tests of these samples were made on pin-on disc type brake lining test machine. After this, the density of the samples was determined by using Archimedes scale. The hardness was determined in the Brinell tester. And finally, the microstructure properties of the samples were determined by using a scanning electron microscope (SEM).
