Research of Friction and Wear Performance of Large Truck’s Brake Drum

摘要: In this research, different frictions were settled to study the wear resistance of HT250, RuT15, RuT75 and QT500 according to the wear failure situation in automobile brake drum. And the relationship between wear mechanism, microstructure and mechanical properties were discussed. It can be seen from the friction and wear experiment that, under different friction and wear conditions, both of RuT35 and QT500 have the best wear resistance property while HT250 has the worst wear resistance property. With the increase of lord, the brake torque and friction coefficient of RuT35 stays unchangeable, showing well brake ability. With the increase of lord, the brake ability of HT250 was getting better, while QT500 showing the opposite. SEM was used to analyze the wear morphology, the results show that: the abrasive wear and adhesion wear are presented mainly. HT250 has a bad surface quality while QT500 and RuT15 have a bad surface quality. Generally speaking, RuT15 is the best material to made brake drum, in the consideration of were resistance and braking stability.
