Description
This project examines the effect of using glass-waste powder as a reinforcement material in brake pads composite. The specimens were prepared using hot isostatic pressing at 250 0C within 2 hours. Fabrication of brake pad specimens was carried out by varying the volume fraction of glass powder (9.9 %vol – 29.9 %vol). Characterization of material carried out included hardness. wear. density. thermal resistance. and surface structure. The results of characterization showed that the maximum value of the specimen with the ingredient of glass powder was 29.9 %vol with hardness value of 80 HRB. wear value of 0.63 x 10-4 mm2/kg. density 2 g/cm3 and thermal resistance until 500C. The improvement of brake pad material characteristics confirms the increase in friction coefficient due to the increase in the amount of glass powder during the simulation.
