| Summary: | In this study, the usability of boron carbide as a
reinforcement material in friction composites was investigated experimentally.
Hence, composite samples containing different amounts of boron carbide (5%, 10%
and 15%) were produced and compared with boron carbide-free sample. Friction
and wear tests were determined by a full scale brake friction tester according
to TS 555 and TS 9076 standards. The hardness of the samples was calculated by
Rockwell hardness tester and the density was calculated according to
Archimedes' principle. The results showed that boron carbide could be used as a
reinforcement material in friction composites. |
