Abstract

While braking, according to the severity of it, thermal, metallurgical, constructive and tribological occurrences emerge on the brake disc-pad interface. In this study, NiCr was sprayed as bonding layer onto the discs, one of which was coated with Al₂O₃-TiO₂ by plasma spray and the other was coated with NiCr-Cr₃C₂ by High Velocity Oxygen Fuel (HVOF). In addition, the discs were tested with inertia dynamometer according to SAE’s J2522 testing procedure. The measurements showed that although the pads of the coated discs were exposed to higher braking temperatures, friction coefficient of the disc coated with NiCr- Cr₃C₂ was obtained 6 % higher compared to the original disc.
