%0 Journal Article %T Investigation of the effect of boron oxide on the friction behavior of brake pads as an alternative additive %A G¨¹l£¿ah Ak£¿nc£¿o£¿lu %J - %D 2019 %X Brake pads, which are one of the most important parts of automobile braking systems, contain dozens of different materials. Brake pads are composite materials and are expected to have good braking performance, a stable friction coefficient, high wear resistance and environmentally friendly. Especially in recent years, the search for natural brake pad material has gained speed. In this study, most of the world reserves in our country, using the boron oxide brake pad sample was produced. Performance tests of brake pad produced with alternative powder were performed. The performance test results obtained from the boron oxide added sample showed that boron oxide could be used as an alternative powder in brake pads %K Brake pads %K boron oxide dust %K wear and friction %U http://dergipark.org.tr/boron/issue/43938/405788
