Abstract
In this study, the usability of waste banana peel and banana tree bark with a fibrous structure as binders was investigated experimentally. Ac-cordingly, the amount of fiber, friction regulator, filler, abrasive and sol-id lubricant is fixed, and three different brake pad samples were pro-duced by adding 10% banana peel and 10% banana tree bark powders by reducing the amount of phenolic resin. Production was carried out by conventional dry mixing method and powder metallurgy method. For this, firstly a homogeneous mixture of all ingredients is provided. The mixture transferred to the mold was pressed at room temperature firstly. Samples obtained as the first form were subjected to hot pressing in the mold again. Thus, the ability of the resin to hold all the materials together has become active. Finally, the samples were cleaned and prepared for the tests. To examine the braking performance of the produced pads, a specially designed brake tester with brake disc was used. Friction, wear, density and hardness tests of the pads were made. SEM images of friction surfaces of pads were taken and microstructures were examined. The ef-fect of using banana waste as a binder in the brake pad on braking per-formance was evaluated. As a result, it was observed that banana wastes are alternative materials that can be used in brake pads.
Highlights
In this study, the usability of waste banana peel and banana tree bark with a fibrous structure as binders was investigated experimentally
It is an important feature that the structure of the brake pads does not deteriorate due to the increase of the temperature and that the friction coefficient continues stably [27]
Two different pads containing banana peel powder and banana tree powder, which are alternative to the phenolic resin material used as a binder to keep the materials in the pad together, were evaluated by comparing the brake performance
Summary
The usability of waste banana peel and banana tree bark with a fibrous structure as binders was investigated experimentally. Yawas et al [20] produced a brake terials formed by combining many materials with different pad with sea snail shell and stated that it could be an alternatasks [1] These materials are generally classified as binders tive for composite brake pads. After determining the negative effect of asbestos phenolic resin and the ability to hold the materials together used as pad material for aquatic life and the environment, it may be partially lost.
