Abstract

The present work discusses the possibility of replacing the asbestos based friction materials by proposed friction materials free of asbestos to eliminate the health hazards caused by asbestos fibers which may cause asbestosis, mesothelioma, and lung cancer. The performance of the proposed friction materials consisting of fibrous reinforced organic and natural fibres such as date palm leaves, banana, coconut and sugar cane. Besides, the proposed composites contain barium sulphate, oxide, copper, iron, sand and phenolic resin. The friction and wear of the proposed composites have been investigated at different values of applied loads.
 
The experiments revealed that friction coefficient displayed by composites filled by rubber nanoparticles and reinforced by palm fibres (PF) displayed the highest values of friction coefficient.Minimum wear values were observed for composites reinforced by PF, while they showed the relatively highest friction values followed by coconut fibres for aluminium filled composites. The lowest wear was exhibited by composites reinforced by 40 wt. % PF. Composites filled by copper particles represented lower values of friction coefficient than that represented by aluminium filled composites, where minimum wear was observed for 20 wt. % PF reinforced composites. Besides, for composites filled by iron, PF showed relatively the highest values of friction coefficient and showed stable trend at fibre content ranging from 20 to 40 wt. %.Minimum wear can be obtained for composites reinforced by 20 wt. % PF.
