Abstract
The effect of slurries on disc brake system is evident to affect the frictional and wear performance of disc brakes. In this work, wear analysis was performed which include the calculation of wear rate and analysis of surface topography. Surface topography of the pads was analysed with SEM to identify the wear mechanisms involve. From the results, the presence of slurry caused higher wear rate in brake pads due to increasing pressure and sliding speed. Some mark of scratches, craters and grooves were observed from surface topography analysis and 2nd body abrasion tends to dominate the wear.
