Abstract: This paper entails the selection and production of composite brake pad with varied constituent’s composition.
Series of tests were conducted that involved tensile, compressive, hardness, impact, wear and corrosion to ascertain composition with the best property as compared to a commercial Honda brake pad (Enuco) model widely used in Nigeria. The results shows that higher percentage of grounded coconut shell powder induces brittleness since compositions with lower percentage of it produced higher breaking strength and lower wear rate. It was also established from the tests results that compositions 4 and 5 have an overall better mechanical and corrosion resistance property than the model with composition 4 having the least wear rate effect.
