Evaluation of properties for hybrid Al-SiC-carbon fiber reinforced metal matrix composite for brake pads

摘要

Attempt has been made to understand the contribution of carbon fiber to the strength of the composite and the contribution of SiC addition to improve the wear resistance has been observed. The combination and strength and wear resistance can be obtained by the hybrid reinforcement of carbon fiber and SiC' Inherent porosity observed is a deterrent to realize the potential improvements on account of porosity.
