Abstract
Asbestos-based brake linings from two Iranian manufacturers were investigated using laser scanning and electron microscopy. The composition specified by the manufacturers was confirmed and the arrangement of the various components both before and after braking tests documented. It was shown that the steel swarf particles form primary contact points onto which layers of wear particles adhere. In the as-produced condition and after grinding, numerous fibres of asbestos were observed. After braking trials however only relatively innocuous broken fibre particles were found on the surface of the lining material.
