Heat accumulation induced by a succession of railway brakings leads to changes of the friction conditions occurring in pad-disc contact. Infrared thermography observations show a progressive increase of surface temperature over the succession, as well as a modification of the hot band migration phenomenon. From a tribological point of view, the heat accumulation, accompanied by a wear increase, progressively modifies the friction behaviour from one braking to the next. Post-mortem observations of pads are performed on surface by scanning electron microscopy and in depth after Focus Ion Beam cut by scanning ion microscopy. Observations show that, with heat accumulation, the third body quantity rises inside the contact, in accordance with wear increase. It is concluded that source flows of third body, which increase with temperature, feed aplenty the contact and modify its load-bearing capacity.
Third bodies, also termed friction layers, tribofilms or secondary contact patches, are layers of more or less compacted wear debris between pads and rotor of a disc brake. Our approach of assessing the sliding behavior and friction properties induced by third bodies has been: i) structural characterization after AK-master test procedure, ii) sliding simulation of model structures similar to the observed ones but with simpler and well defined compositions, and iii) verification of simulation results by pin-on-disc tests with artificial third bodies showing the same microstructures and compositions as the model structures. The idea was to simulate structure formation during real braking conditions by high energy ball milling of appropriate powder blends. The final outcome of numerous parameter studies was that a third body containing 15 vol% soft ingredients and 0-20 vol % hard ingredients, both distributed homogeneously in a nanocrystalline iron oxide matrix, should be most desirable for braking. This general description of the optimum third body structure and several parameter studies performed by modelling enabled us to interpret a number of features of the AK-master test procedure, such as i) friction evolution during bedding, ii) the role of solid lubricants in respect to the initiation of smooth sliding behavior, and iii) friction evolution during a single braking event (in-stop behavior).
In the paper the method of discrete modeling (movable cellular automata method) and combined discrete-continuous description of the simulated medium are used to analyze processes occurring in the local contact of the automotive brake system. The characteristic size of the considered region is 1.5 ?m. The following contact situation is simulated: steel fiber coated by an iron oxide film as the brake pad and pearlitic steel also coated by an iron oxide layer as the disc. On the assumption of oxide layer wearing we simulate the iron oxide - iron oxide, iron oxide - metal and metal - metal contacts.
The calculation results for the friction coefficient for various contact situations give quite adequate values. For example, for the oxide - oxide system the calculated coefficient is approximately equal to 0.4, while for the metal - metal contact the obtained value varies from 0.7 to 0.9. Analysis of a set of the obtained results allows concluding that oxide is formed more rapidly than the sliding layer, which in turn makes the friction coefficient value stabilized.
