Materials for Automotive Brake Systems

Anotace

The subject is focused on materials for applications in brake systems, their composition, properties and methods for evaluation of friction performance and wear. Behavior of these brake materials at different conditions of operation and description of environmental aspects of friction processes associated with braking of automobiles, together with an outline of character and evaluation methods of wear emissions are also included in the subject. Moreover, design and development of new materials for this application and its legislative framework for control and regulation of emissions from non-exhaust emissions are discussed.
