This study highlights the frictional behavior of the disc brake interfaces and microstructure of the friction layers (FL) and transferred materials (TM) on the tribopairs. The designed dynamometer was utilized to evaluate the frictional performance of the disc brake materials during dry sliding under different braking events (applied loads and speeds). The morphological properties of the brake lining and disc surfaces were examined by EPMA, FESEM, EDS, 3D surface profilometry and Raman spectroscopy to illustrate the FL, TM and wear mechanisms. The tribo-braking results exhibited that the frict...
