A Study on the Friction Characteristics of Automotive Composites Brake Pads Using Taguchi Method

다구치 방법을 이용한 복합재료 자동차용 마찰재의 마찰특성에 관한 연구

It has many variables and factors to design the friction materials for automotive brake pads. In this study, the friction and wear characteristics of automotive blake pads have been studied using 1:l full size dynamo meter. Using conventional manners, it takes a great of time and efforts to know that it affects the each raw materials for friction characteristics. For the purpose of examining the effect of each major raw materials, we used the more convenient Taguchi L9 ($3^4$) orthogonal matrix and 1/5 scale dynamo machine for evaluation of the friction characteristics of composite brake pads.
