Abstract- The most crucial elements of an automobile's braking system are the brake pad and disc. It transformskinetic energy in heat energy in order to smoothly Delay the vehicle. Efficiency between brake pad with disc diminishes due to repetitive or tough braking on steep gradient coefficient of friction as well as wear rate.

INTRODUCTION
The most crucial safety feature of an automobile is its brakes. Fig(1). Brakes are necessary to bring a vehicle to a completestop in the shortest amount of time, and they accomplish this through the transformation of the Thermal energy is created from kinetic energy and released into the surrounding environment. [1] [2]. A vehicle's component weight on the wheel and the coefficient of interaction between the road and tire surfaces determine the maximum hindering force that can be applied by the brake at the wheels. The disc combined brake pad between the interfaces that slide determines how well the disc braking system works. The friction between the brake pad and the disc causes braking torque to be applied to the wheel's rotor, which in turn causes the automobile to slow down due to friction between the tire and the road. Both the pad and the rotor wear throughout this operation, and some of that wear will result in particle emission. Experience or a trial-and-error procedure is required for the proper material selection for the disc and pad at the necessary ingredient quantities. Cast iron, composite, and aluminum composite materials are only a few of the materials used to makerotors. Most rotors are made of grey cast iron, which is robust and has a high carbon content. The pad material, which is made up of a few components, is used to increase strength and rigidity, lengthen life, reduce porosity, and reduce noise, as well as to improve friction qualities at low and high temperatures. The various categories of components in friction materials include additives, fillers, binders, and reinforcing fires. The typical commercial brake lining consists of almost ten different parts [3]. Brake rotors along with drums can absorb heat during protracted periods of hard braking more quickly than they can dissipate it into the surrounding air. The temperature increase in the braking components can have a big impact on how well a vehicle brakes. High temperatures during braking may result in thermally excited vibration, bearing failure, brake fluid vaporization, brake fade, and premature wear. As a result, it's crucial to forecast the temperature increase of a specific brake system and evaluate its capacity for heating early in the design process.
The maximum temperature can be caused by carrying heavy loads, halting from high speeds, braking in traffic, and frequent downhillstops on mountain paths. Due to issues with the brakes, the lining is more susceptible to external factors like temperature, pressure, sliding speed, and humidity. With high temperatures, the value of the coefficient for friction for brakes decreases. It is known as brakefade. The three types of brake fade are gas fade, mechanical fade, and lining fade. Additionally, brake-induced issues like judder (vibration caused by rotor warping with uneven disc thickness), fading (loss of braking efficacy due to frictional heat), and noise can be influenced by the shape plus physical characteristics of the brake rotors [3] [4] [5].

Coefficient of friction
This is due to how the phases of grey iron affect the grey iron rotor's physical properties, including its thermal conductivity, damping ability, thermal expansion of coefficient, and specific heat. Beyond a certain degree, the temperature's impact on the coefficient of friction declines, making it harder to stop the car with the brakes. In fig (2) The graph demonstrates how the coefficient of friction of brake pads climbs modestly as temperature rises before dramatically declining as temperature rises. With the addition of more heat-stopping radius, the fade will get worse and eventually disappear. The pace at which brake linings and rotors were worn changed significantly in response to changes inrotor composition, demonstrating that rotors and brake liners were active chemically during braking.

Only the brake drums experience mechanical brake fade. Drum as it enlarges as the temperature rises. As a result, before applying the brakes, the pedal is brought closer to the floor. A thin layer of hot gases might be released from organic material binding in the brake pads as a result of severe brake system overheating. As a result, as the pad hydroplanes, there is lower contact between the pad and the disc.

SUMMARY
Brakes are essential for a vehicle's safety, converting thermal energy from kinetic energy into braking force. The disc- combined brake pad and disc work together to prevent braking torque from being applied to the wheel's rotor. Proper material selection is crucial for the disc and pad, with grey cast iron being the most common. High temperatures during braking can cause vibration, bearing failure, fluid vaporization, brake fade, and premature wear. Forecasting temperature increases and evaluating heating capacity early in the design process is crucial. the characteristics of the friction materials and how they impact coefficient of friction and wear rate are used to select them for surveys. The rate of wear of the brake pad and the disc is influenced by the load, time, and sliding speed. Wear on the disc brakes is to blame for fifty percent of non-exhaust emissions from traffic and transportation on roads. To control coefficient of friction and the rate at which the brake pad and disc wear, several composite materials with varying percentages are used in brakes. Additionally, aluminum and materials based on aluminum can impact coefficient of friction and the rate at which a disc wears out due to its outstanding malleability, formability,ability to resist corrosion, and thermal conductivity. Up to sixty per cent of the disc material gets worn out when the brake is applied. To prevent wear, the disc has a covering. The layer on the disc also decreased the effects of rust and moisture. Future experiments canbe done while taking into account how moisture influences friction and wear. Additionally, taking into account different disc material coatings can impact coefficient of friction and wear characteristics.

INFLUENCING INPUT PARAMETERS ON PERFORMANCE OF DISC BRAKE
In this describing the different parameters which impact of friction material on disc brake performance. This influencing parameteras follows
-
IMPACT OF LOAD
The Impact of load on the frictional behaviour of the pad material was studied for coefficient of friction and wear rate with load for various sliding speeds. The normal load exerted a strong force against the stationary pin against the rotating disc. the load that a pin is subjected to virtually always determines how much wear it experiences. A reduction in material strength occurs as a result of frictional heat generated at the contact surface when the normal load rises. The quantity of friction force is influenced by the weight and sliding speed. As the load is increased, the wear rate immediately increases. However, the behaviour of the load and sliding speed combination has an impact on the amount of friction force. The most important factors impacting the rate of wear for brake pads are normal load, followed by sliding velocity and sliding distance. [8],[13],[16],[18]
-
IMPACT OF SLIDING VELOCITY
The primary element is how sliding velocity impacts the friction and wear behaviour of the braking system. The contact between the friction surface and the rate at which the friction material is removed is affected by sliding velocity. The distance (radius) of the pin from the rotation axis multiplied by the speed of the rotating disc determines the relative velocity between the pin and rotating disc. No of the temperature outside, an increase in sliding velocity raises the temperature at the siding interface. In brake performance The impact of sliding velocity on coefficient of friction and wear rate investigated at loads and sliding distances. If sliding Velocity increases wear rate increases due to without coated layer on the disc. But sliding Velocity increases wear rate decreases due to coated discs. [1],[3],[6],[11],[13],[15]
-
IMPACT OF TIME
Pin on disc machines were used in experimental research to look into variations in the coefficient of friction and wear rate. Several braking applications at various velocities with regard to time were investigated using brake discs and Non-asbestos organic (NAO) pad material. Many variables impact the operating conditions of brakes during their operating time, which causes changes in their tribological properties.The goal of the investigation was to extend the working time till failure.
The major variations in friction coefficient and wear rate in braking performance are caused by time. The friction surfaces' structure vary with time, load, the quantity of applications, the distance travelled, and the rate of wear.[2],[5],[8],[9][19]
-
IMPACT OF COATINGS
The brake discs in modern automobiles perform under demanding braking circumstances and at very high speeds. Therefore, for the safety of both people and vehicles, high braking performance is crucial. The goal of vehicle braking performance is to safely manage the vehicle's speed without resulting in a mechanical failure. In a moving vehicle, significant abrasion happens during braking. Less surface contact temperature and stable braking performance were displayed by the coated disc. Additionally, this coating extends the service life of the brake system by lowering the rate of lining wear and abrasive wear on the brake disc surface, both of which result in decreased emissions of particulate matter into the atmosphee. Under the various wear processes at high temperatures, the coated disc demonstrated better wear resistance than the uncoated disc. According to the measured coefficient of friction, the coated disc provided superior braking capability. [7],[9],[10],[11],[20]
